Beauty and the beats

About Me

I'm a drummer and composer based near Brighton

I found a passage on Charles Lloyd's website that discribes how I feel about music perfectly
"Music is a healing force. It has the ability to transcend boundaries, it can touch the heart directly, it can speak to the depths of the spirit where no words are needed. It is a most powerful form of communication and expression of beauty"
I'm very passionate about music and enjoy playing it in all its forms.
