About

Hello, I’m a 24-year-old musician and music tutor based in SE London. With 17 years of guitar playing and 10 years of creating guitar-dominant instrumental tracks, I’ve played in over 25 different projects spanning multiple genres including rock, blues, soul, rockabilly, rock n roll, and pop. I also have intermediate piano skills and a strong passion for music theory.

Alongside performing as a session and theatre guitarist, I tutor beginners and aspiring pros on guitar, piano, bass, and ukulele. I enjoy replicating lines or writing influenced pieces under pressure and engaging in deep conversations about music. My experience includes TV appearances, theatre productions, and group sessions in schools, all contributing to my well-rounded musical career.
