Having a perpetual sense of humour, charismatic Razzle was able to crack a joke in any situation.

He became an important element of Hanoi Rocks, due to his repartee and an ability to find a way out of difficult times and problems between members. Although Razzle has already appeared on the Self Destruction Blues album cover, he didn't record anything on the record. Gyp Casino, who was the band's current drummer, was fired for his addiction, depression, and suicidal thoughts, and Razzle was hired. He came backstage and asked to be the band's drummer. After seeing the band performing at the Zig-Zag Club, Razzle was convinced that this was a band he would definitely join. Razzle collaborated with Hanoi Rocks for the first time on Sounds magazine pages. Also, he joined Demon Preacher (featuring Nik Wade, later of Alien Sex Fiend), The Fuck Pigs and The Dark, with whom he released one EP The Living End Live in 1981, which was recorded at the band's last gig in London's 100 Club which, in his own words, was heavy punk, almost heavy metal. In 1980 he moved to London, where he played in several punk rock bands. Prior to joining Hanoi Rocks, Razzle started playing in local Binstead small ensembles, one of which was called Thin Red Line.

The family's only child, he grew up in Coventry, after which the family moved to the village of Binstead, Isle of Wight. He was adopted by Henry and Irene Dingley.

Born in Royal Leamington Spa, England, to a young single mother, Patricia Ingram, who decided to give up her child for adoption.
