My listening and playing experience covers styles from traditional folk all the way through to progressive electronica and dance music.

At a young age I was introduced by my pa to the art of 'knee-drumming' and shown my first chords on a guitar (once my fingers could stretch far enough!) - seemingly insignificant events that ended up being life changing. At secondary school I finally got to study drums properly under the guidance of Ben Twyford, finally getting my own kit a year later and spending every spare minute sitting behind it, a habit that has continued to this day…

From my mid teens I developed a love for writing, performing, recording and producing songs of my own. This love was cultivated and diversified further by three years reading Creative Music Technology at Hull University's Scarborough Campus, from which I recently graduated. This course enabled me to gain experience in areas from engineering (both live and in the studio), performing, composing/songwriting and producing - activities I intend to continue in a professional capacity. In my time at university I also put on a number of nights at a local venue on behalf of an independent music website I helped establish, supporting live music of various genres alongside DJs and visual artists.

As a drummer I've guested on a number of artists' works in the last few years alongside backing a variety of bands live in nationwide gigs of various sizes. I've also played bass and sung for a number of bands, both live and in the studio. Outside of music, I like to surf and find it an endless source of creative inspiration as well as the perfect way to wind down and keep fit.

Overall I'm a conscientious music professional with an easygoing personality and a positive outlook, an ear for the fine details and a passion for making music to the highest standard.
