Originally from Halifax, West Riding of Yorkshire, he moved to Canada in the 1970s.[5] He replaced Bryan Adams as a vocalist of the band Sweeney Todd, in which his older brother John was the drummer and his twin Philip played guitar.[6][7] He performed several live shows with the band, but they broke up before releasing any music.[8] He and Philip also performed as a duo under the name Who's Who?.[7] After moving to Los Angeles in the 1980s, the brothers started working odd jobs such as production assistants. They licensed some of their songs to pornographic film producers. The experience inspired them to later make their own movies.[7]
One of their songs licensed to the pornography producers was later used in the 1986 pornographic film Angels of Passion.[7] It became a popular example of lostwave after a short snippet of the song was uploaded to WatZatSong in 2021 and the search for it became an Internet phenomenon.[9] In April 2024, the song was identified as "Ulterior Motives".[10][9]
