Biography

I’ve been a ‘musician’ since I can remember – building guitars out of tissue boxes and elastic bands as a kid, starting up school and then college bands whilst jamming daily with my best mate through the blazing highs of teenage life. We started a band “Pandora” which we later took as a duo to the French Alps for 5 months (the best of times!)

I later on looked into session work in London and through one fateful meeting in a coffee shop things started getting very exciting.

Since autumn 2008 I’ve travelled all over the UK playing bass and backing singing for some great solo artists, at some ridonkulous shows like The Tabernacle with Gary Phelan, playing live on BBC Radio London with Jadan Lee, and switching on Preston’s Christmas lights with Mike Dignam.

Three years down the line I’ve moulded these experiences into something to help my own development as an artist, performing my songs with my own band. Being under the spells of Jeff Buckley, City & Colour and The Cure the music I’m producing is best described as acoustic folk rock.
