About Me

Hi, I'm a drummer based in London and I graduated from Guildhall in 2006. I've been lucky enough to work some of the best known jazz musicians in the UK, including Soweto Kinch, Denys Baptiste and Martin Speake, and perform at the 606, Vortex, Pizza Express Dean Street, Royal Festival Hall and QEH Foyer. I've also filmed for ITV and recorded a live broadcast for Radio 3.
Whilst i was a student I was fortunate enough to record a big band album with top British pianist John Taylor, which was released on the CAM label last year. I'm currently a member of Tomorrow's Warriors, and also enjoy playing with some incredibly talented young musicians, many of which are friends below. Check them out!!
