Fingers came from a large family of actors, artists and musicians. His cousin is his fellow Boomtown Rat Pete Briquette, as their mothers, Margaret "Peggy" (Bowles) Cusack and Cecilia "Sheila" (Bowles) Moylett, are sisters. He learned the piano from a young age from 'Miss Grist' who he claims stole his youth.[1] After the demise of The Rats, he founded Gung~Ho with Simon Crowe and Yoko Kurokawa in 1987. Fingers is married with two children.
He currently lives in Tokyo, Japan where he continues to work in the music industry. Apart from producing and writing music for Japanese stars such as UA, and theme songs such as for the hit anime B't X, Fingers is the 'point man'[2] with the concert music production company Smash Japan, producers of Fuji Rock Festival, the largest music festival in Japan.
