A man who finds music in everything.

​

Since the age of 13, I have been professionally performing as a guitarist in notable venues across the country (i.e. The Star Inn, Guildford; The Shed, Leicester; Concorde 2, Brighton). Forever dreaming of rock-stardom, I have always been an incredibly fun-loving, motivated and focused individual, musically directing bands from small-time gigging to festival headliners. My experience of the industry was certified when I graduated from the Academy of Contemporary Music in 2017. My undergraduate honours degree further developed my knowledge of digital marketing, tour management and professional musicianship.

​

Composition has always been a passion of mine, often being the primary songwriter for my band projects. Exploring compositional and arrangement techniques through an enormous range of genres and stylistic contexts has been a great interest that has influenced a lot of my work. Any style, any genre; I would jump at the chance to compose/arrange the music. Most recently, I was commissioned to compose the film score for an independent short film by Eyesight Productions, additionally, throughout my undergraduate degree I had also composed and arranged music in the style of reggae; jazz; bossa nova; retro video game; punk; 80's power ballad; gospel etc.

​

Alongside other work, I have also provided tuition for guitar, bass, ukulele, songwriting, music and piano theory both online and directly. This included 1-1 tuition, as well as small and large groups of students. This, as well as a year of volunteering as a performing arts technician at Robert Smyth Academy, highlighted my additional love for education and teaching. I went on to study my PGCE at the University of Brighton, teaching the UAL Levels 2 and 3 Music Performance and Production diplomas and extended diploma at Brighton MET College. My extensive knowledge and experience of the industry asserted my authority within the large FE classroom, despite my young age.

​

After 3 years of peripatetic instrumental teaching with Brighton & Hove Music & Arts (now 'Create Music'), I have gained another PGCE in Secondary Music Education from the University of Sussex and now teach music at a popular state secondary school in Brighton.
