About Me

I'm 28 years old and have been been playing live music for about 12 years. I have played at many of the major clubs in London such as the Hammersmith Palais, Bush Hall, The Mean Fiddler, The Kashmir Klub, The Bedford and The Borderline, and I completed two 60 date University Tours in the UK and Ireland both as a solo artist and fronting a band.I've appeared on ITV and BBC TV and have been interviewed by BBC Radio, as well as many local and University radio stations across the UK. I've now completed two solo albums which I hope to release sometime this year.I've also played a lot of shows in the US. I first played in California in 1997 with my 5 piece band, and then returned in 98 and 99 to tour, playing at venues such as The Whiskey-a-go-go in Los Angeles and The Casbah in San Diego as well as appearing on NBC, CBS and UCSD TV.In 2000 we were back in the US again after being invited to play at the Billabong World Surfing Finals at Tressles Beach, California, to an audience of 10,000. That was an amazing experience!In 2002 I opened a recording studio which I have run for the last four years. I work as a Producer, Engineer and session musician.I've been lucky enough to have played alongside a variety of successful artists such as KT Tunstall, Lucie Silvas, Tony Moore, and The Animals. I also recently wrote the title track and film score for a short British Film 'Wet Paint', which we are hoping will do the rounds at next summers film festivals.I gig regularly both in the UK and the US, most recently returning from New York City after playing some acoustic shows. I also run an acoustic music evening in St.Albans every Tuesday. We get loads of great acts every week and everyone is welcome!
