About me

Dedicated hardworking session guitarist and recent BA Professional Musicianship graduate. Whilst gaining my diploma and degree I have played in over 25 bands and worked with a plethora of different artists. During this time I have recorded in two of the biggest studios in London, Abbey Road and Air Studios, with multi-award winning mixers and engineers. Alongside recording and performing I have managed and MD'd a collection of bands, running their budget, rehearsals, music arrangements and band relationships. I have always practiced photography and after doing a short course in the subject, I have refined my skills and developed a small portfolio over the years.

Whilst studying at University, I held numerous titles and responsibilities within 6 different bands. High standards of time management and organisation skills were required to not only maintain these band positions, but to simultaneously attain my university degree. Managing high pressure environments, tight time constraints, conflicting colleague ideas and contrasting personalities were characteristic challenges of these roles. The fast paced nature of musical directing requires creative problem solving whilst managing tight budgets and complex rehearsal schedules. I have immensely enjoyed the opportunity to manage and direct two bands, and look forward to taking on the same level of responsibility in the future.
