About Me


I'm an artist and singer/songwriter based in London. I've been playing piano since I was about six and writing for the last few years. I've only really started getting down to recording demo's recently after being prompted by all the support my friends and family have given me but there'll be more on the way soon. The demos are quite rough but will be polishing them up as soon as I get a chance and will hopefully get some more stuff recorded and up for you to hear soon! Hope you enjoy!
Gigs will also be coming soon so keep an eye out for them!
Much of my work displayed is for sale. Commissions can also be taken. Contact me for more details.
