About
I am an accomplished musician with over 15 years of experience in performance, songwriting, and production. As a multi-instrumentalist, I primarily play drums and percussion, but I am also proficient on the tenor horn, keyboards, ukulele, and vocals. I have performed with legendary artists including the Buzzcocks, The Undertones, and Half Man Half Biscuit, and at iconic venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and Manchester Academy.
I have toured Spain with the acclaimed Latin artist Depedro in Summer 2024 and regularly perform with Mexican Latin artist HAAL. I also produce electronic music under my alias uncle and have experience producing indie and alternative pop. I am skilled with music production software such as Ableton Live and Logic Pro X, and have participated in extended production sessions with Fred Again… I am passionate, adaptable, and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments.
