Biography
I decided I wanted to play the drums back when I was 11, my main influence being ‘Roger Taylor’ of Queen. I got enrolled onto a local ensemble group playing snare drum, where began learning my first rhythms and how to sight read.
After picking up these skills I thought it time I moved onto the drum kit, where I started working through my Trinity Guildhall grades.
I joined several bands with friends and did very well on the local music scene.
My ability grew, allowing me to join paid function groups and party bands where I really began to feel quite comfortable as an entertaine
... r at weddings, corporate functions, party bands, originals acts, pantomime, musical theatre and circus.
Around this passion I also developed an interest for the rest of the production requirements of live shows and studio work, so I enrolled on a Music Production course where my career gained more momentum learning the art of sound production.
Whilst at college I was the resident session player for my peers, drum tutor and technician for the college. I was also then made Events manager and coordinator where I would plan, organise and carry out the events. This gained me invaluable experience playing on many amazing projects and with a vast array of different incredible musicians. During this role I was specially selected to land a role of drum tech with Stereophonics drummer ‘Jamie Morisson’ on a special collaboration project.
After finishing with top marks at college I went on to perfect my new skills Internationally, at holiday destinations and cruise ships, where I also joined forces with some of the artists onboard and played to some more big audiences.
I’ve worked with a hugely diverse amount of people from many different backgrounds. Some of these companies and characters are;
Jamani Stewart
Tobacco Factory Theatre
Miracle theatre
Beatles tribute "Britains Finest"
Kirk Whalum
North South Theatre
Happy's Circus
TUI Cruise ships
Braxi Music
Royal Caribbean International
various other artists, cabaret acts and festivals.
I am now freelance in both drums, sound and lights production and am also available to teach privately.
