I began my musical career during university and performed regularly around the West Midlands, balancing my studies with freelance work. After graduation, I worked full-time in education but became increasingly interested in transitioning my career into the creative industries. Having worked with vocal coach David Grant, done session work, and formed my own band, Sweet Caporal, I have since left education to pursue more creative projects. Currently, I am expanding my portfolio and experiences by engaging in various music and creative roles including writing, performing, and coordinating content. I am excited to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the music industry's mechanics and continue growing as a musician and creative professional.
