I am a professional guitar player, teacher and composer with extensive experience performing live, recording in the studio, and teaching players of all ages. I hold multiple Grade 8 instrumental certifications and Grade 5 Music Theory, and I completed a Bachelor's degree with high firsts in both performance and theory. I'm enthusiastic and passionate about music and love working with the guitar in all its aspects—whether touring Europe with bands or sharing the joy of music through teaching. I also hold a full, clear DBS. My compositional language is shaped by my love of Impressionism, pulling listeners into a new world with an emphasis on trancelike rhythms and melodies that can be interwoven seamlessly to shape unique musical language that lives and breathes with the subject matter- be it film, video game or art. I am extremely passionate about weaving visual and musical art into one experience, and utilise touch designer heavily within my own artistic practice to create visuals that respond in real time to music.
