Originally from Sussex, I started out on jazz piano before moving on to bass, guitar, and various other instruments. Having spent a few years cutting my teeth on the pub/club circuit, upon graduating from University in Liverpool in 2013 I spent the next few years touring the world with a ukulele boyband I co-founded in 2012 as a joke with some fellow music students, Ukebox(ukeboxband.co.uk). 

​

My time with Ukebox proved extremely formative- despite our light-hearted origins, in my time with them we visited 55-ish countries in just a few years, and got to meet and work alongside a great many household names from the entertainment industry, in addition to playing gigs ranging from pubs and clubs, to Sunday Night At The London Palladium, and a packed-out Goodison Park stadium to roughly 40,000 football fans.

​

More importantly, as a band we had to learn about the music industry the hard way as we went along, first by setting up a Limited Company, and then by taking an increasingly assertive and businesslike approach to the services we were providing which demonstrably helped us attain success the likes of which few ukulele boybands have ever attained...

​

I left Ukebox in 2017, and soon after settled down into working as a guitar technician at Jack's Instrument Services(jacksinstrumentservices.com)/Tiny Tone(tinytone.co.uk) in Manchester by day, whilst gigging up and down the country as a 'hired gun' musician by night for a wide range of bands.

​

I now divide my time between gigs, sessions, sound engineering, podcasting, editing, coaching, photography, lutherie, guitar scratchplate/component manufacturing, cycling, and long walks in the Peak District.
