I'm a 23 year old pianist/keyboard player from St.Ives in Cambridgeshire. I completed my music degree last year and am currently studying for an MA in Music Performance at APU in Cambridge. Alongside this I'm trying to make a living as a musician, with varying degrees of success. Loving the variety - I can be playing to a load of drunk skinheads in a sweaty nightclub one night to playing light jazz to discerning hotel customers the next. All good fun!
I spend my mornings playing the piano (or attempting to anyway) for ballet classes at Bodywork in Cambridge. It's great fun, though I'm still trying to get used to playing so early in the morning.
My music taste is strange, I'm at home listening to the most complicated piano concerto one day and then a bit of Shakatak and Level 42 the next.I play in the following bands: Linear Sphere (Mad prog metal), Behind Bars (Melodic rock) and Soul Patrol (Disco/soul/funk). I also do a lot of piano accompanying for music and dance exams.
I can also be found in the dark waters of MSN - [email protected] - please feel free to add me if you have something interesting to say, or just want the kudos of having me in your friends list :p
I have discovered the blog system and have started to use it to write down my everyday rants. To those who read them I'm not really as grumpy as all that, though I think I would be a welcome guest on grumpy old men (and probably the youngest).
Please feel free to have a look at the videos I have uploaded on my profile, they're supposed to be amusing but always end up looking strange.
As music is now effectively my job, to prevent becoming a workaholic I have tried to find new and exciting interests - cue cycling! I did the coast to coast cycle across the UK last September with my friends Matt and Tom, and we are attempting Land's End to John 'o Groats this summer.
