Years of hard work has paid off for a Cannock musician who has released his first album.
Jack Chapman has recorded and produced album My Achilles Heel under his very own Inglepingle record label.
The 30-year-old, of Elmwood Close, started working on the project six years ago.
Recording the 12 tracks for the -ndie-sounding album has involved him playing 18 instruments and countless hours of work.
He started playing guitar in the late 1990s and began to compose and record songs in his bedroom. He formed a band called Mint and some members of the group later relaunched themselves as covers band, The Great Train Robbers, with Mr Chapman playing lead guitar.
He has recorded more than 100 songs while holding down a job teaching sports science at Birmingham Metropolitan College in Sutton Coldfield.
Mr Chapman said: "I sang all the vocals, I play 18 different instruments on it and I've set up my own record label.
"I've spent six years recording over 100 songs and the best ones have made it on to the album. I'm very pleased with it."
