I am a Birmingham based composer and pianist.

At present I am working with my quartet, featuring Amy Fletcher on woodwind, Nick Jurd on double bass and Jim Bashford on drum kit.

I am currently available for SESSION WORK and COLLABORATIONS.
Just drop me a message!
About the tracks:
'Indigo For Yuichuro' and 'Swing Circuit' are from my album
'The Infinite Sea Of Electrons'.
'L's Last Lullaby' is from a performance @ Birmingham Conservatoire, featuring my quartet...
I have also written music for a short film entitled 'Late', written and directed by midlands film maker Elizabeth Inniss, which has been screened at various venues including the Custard Factory.
As well as playing with various midlands based musical ensembles. I also like to work on my own electronic experiments when I have the time.
When I'm not engaged in music of some sort, I apply myself to martial arts, which I currently practice and teach(more of a hobby).
For information, collaborations or proposals please contact me at
