About Me

I'm a London-based flautist , vocalist and DJ who promotes and performs music across the world. Playing rare jams, jazz dance and frosted folk - a usual evening would consist of a blend of sounds - Fusion from Herbie's Chameleon & Wayne Shorters Weather Reports, to modern sounds of record labels such as G.A.M.M, Sonar Kollektive, Tempa and Bear Entertainment. In between, Nina, Netsayi, Mulatu, Cro-magnon, Fat Freddys Drop, Ellen Mcllwaine, Creative Source, Gil Scott Heron, Zongamin, Bert Jansch, Grover Washington, BB King and Ray Charles are filtered into the mixture for a unique and varied journey at each event. Sprinkling a little colour over the records with some live Flute and on occasion, superb guest musicians are invited down to perform.
