Biography

I’ve played globally and in top hotels including The Waldorf, The Conrad off Satin James,
Hedsor House and Cliveden House, Coworth Park, Stanlake Park, Englefield House.
I've worked as a session musician for Alexis Taylor of Hotchip, Vegyn, Flyte.
I was chosen to Fat Boy Slim to play in London to announce his tour and I have performed for Alexis Taylor in The Roundhouse in Camden supporting Jarvis Cocker.
My passionate performances have taken me to many exciting and adventurous venues. As a musician, I've played at many functions and weddings and performed in notable places such ... as Saint Nicolas Church in Prague, Monserrat Monastery of Barcelona, Barcelona Cathedral and Hyde Park Barracks.
I also hold several residencies at top five star London and large country house hotels in and around Berkshire and Buckinghamshire as well as Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. I've played at events with such people attending as Mary Berry, Terry Wogan and Princess Anne.
I was offered a contract aboard the most prestigious of all Cunard Ships, The Queen Mary 2 as a soloist, at the young age 22 and have also finished my third contract, aboard Queen Victoria completely a World Cruise.
I began my musical learning in Saint George’s School in Windsor Castle, with the principal harpist at the time, for the HRH The Prince Of Wales, Louisa Maria Cordell. I then went onto private lessons inside Eton College with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s harpist Sally Pryce and was also tutored by Los Angeles based Sarah Goss. I've also been under direction by many other wonderful harpists, including Jazz harpist Tara Minton and Suzy Willison Kawalec. Read More
