About Me

I'm Imran. At the moment I'm studying for a BA in Music at the School of Oriental and African Studies, and travelling on every possible occasion to expand my musical, cultural and artistic horizons. I play a lot of solo fingerstyle guitar, in a range of style from jazz to classical and everything in between I can arrange. At the moment I'm looking for work playing music wherever I can, I can provide all necessary equipment etc. Check below for my (constantly expanding) repertoire. I am also in a reggae/jazz/latin/roots band with two friends, and we will soon be playing concerts after a looooooong break
