-DRUMS-

   I am a freelance drummer who loves taking on projects to record drums In a studio setting, or play live. I have a passion for elevating the music I play by adding colour and flair to what the composer has already created, or by collaberating to forge a new sound. 

-COMPOSITION-

Writing my own music has been the most scary, exciting, frustrating, joyful, rewarding and exhilirating project I’ve ever undertaken. I can’t wait to release something I’m proud of and burtling to put out, early 2022.

-PAST-

In the last few years, I’ve played with 30+ bands, some of the shows ranging over 10 countries. Genres include many from Jazz, Blues, Funk, Hip Hop, Reggae, Jungle and Live Drum and Bass through to folk, country and more experimental electronic performance.

Some of the highlights have been stepping in super last minuite to drum for Sefo Kanuteh and his band at The Harlequin Fayre for the headline slot on the main stage. busking and gigging across 8 countries in 7 days and then completing a residency at Ferrara busking festival with The Gin Bowlers.

Touring overland from the UK to the eastern corner of Finland near russia with Mustard Brass Band, busking inbetween trains and buses, was an amazing experience and we met many incredible people.

Playing a sold out show at SWX in Bristol with Mr Tea and the Minions at their show supporting Dubioza Kollectiv. Other bands I’ve filled in for or played with include True Strays, The Midnight Zu, The Rin Tins, Ushti Baba (Transcribing all beatbox parts to drumkit!), The Bare Souls, I have been working as a drummer, session drummer, booking agent, festival booker, sound engineer, promoter, venue music manager, stage tech, music teacher, drum workshop leader, tour driver and tour manager  in the last 18 years and building up my experience in all these fields.

-FOCUS-

My passion for the industry extends to hiring out equipment both PA and Backline, facilitating the rehearsals and tuition of others with my studio, and providing sound technicians with the PA systems I hire, weather it be myself, or one of the Sound techs I work with. 

I have several PA systems ready to go, for all situations where a band or DJ needs to play to between 20 and 300 people. As well as this at SPHQ there is an extended list of equipment that is available to hire on the Hire Page.

Experienced and insured sound engineers and are also available to hire.
