About Me

Multi Instrumentalist Born in the UK, now residing in Spain. Started to play at the age of 4, I remeber learning all my favourite songs by ear from the TV and my mum deciding to find me a teacher. Thanks to my Grandad giving me 100 pounds to buy my first organ when I was 7, I started studying with some old cat that used to visit home every 2 weeks. he used to make me play all kinds of styles to keep me interested and I stuck with him for 7 years. Then my passion for Jazz came along and the rest is history. Now almost 30 I'm still on that journey I embarked upon all those years ago, still learning new things, meeting new people and new challenges. It's a blessing to be a musician and share my love for music with people from around the world.Latley I'm playing with my band Fast3, Soul Legend Brian JAckson, The Beautiful Ana Cisneros, Mariano Steimberg's IEP,and many other great musicians around Spain. The 3 videos below show me in my various groups playing various instruments.
