I started playing bass when i was 11 years old, being taught by Alan Thompson who was a huge influence to me and introduced me to Jazz. I then went on to join penzance youth wind band playing the string bass parts in the arrangements, which eventually lead me on to Cornwall Youth Jazz Orchestra and Cornwall Youth Wind Orchestra. I have now nearly finished a degree in Jazz and Contemporary World music (what a mouth full!!), which is a wicked course held in Truro and is run by outstanding jazz pianist Viv Rodd. Viv is a constant source of inspiration and a fantastic tutor, his son Damian Rodd is the drummer in my band (www.myspace.com/chromazonemyspace) he's an absolute monster, but he drums well so we forgive him for that! lol! Tom Quirke is the keyboard player, he graduated from the course last year and he's a wicked player. Then you have got Martin Bowie on guitar, he's in the same class as me at uni and is also a killer player!! Finally there is Paul Haywood on Saxophones, he's my house mate which is cool there is always constant giggle and laughs; not to mention its a house of Jazz baby YEAH!!
