Hi, I’m Oscar Clitheroe, a Brighton-based drummer and versatile musician. I thrive in live performance, collaboration, and education, and I’m driven to refine my technique, expand my range, and explore new styles. In summer 2024 I toured Indonesia, performing reggae and rock across bars and clubs with local musicians, and I love collaborating with others to immerse myself in fresh performance cultures. My long-term goal is to build a professional career that integrates live performance, production, recording, and education—empowering others through music as I continue to grow as a versatile, expressive artist. I’m actively pursuing apprenticeships in the music industry and seeking opportunities to expand my skills, including advanced drumming workshops, ensemble training, and real-world performance experience.
