PROFILE
An accomplished musician with over 8 years professional experience in performance and managerial-based roles.
As Band Master on one of the largest cruise lines in the world, I formed and organised bands to work professionally as
self-employed musicians for intimate gigs or large crowds each night. Performing myself as reading guitarist in a variety of showbands on board. More recently, my performances have been based on land. Notably, with a residency at the Shard in London and a variety of high-end venues as part of an acoustic duo. I also continue to mentor other musicians as Band Leader for a function band that performs across the South West. My responsibilities vary from guitarist to coaching new hires through rehearsals onto professional performances.
A studio near Exeter is my latest endeavour and I hope to continue to support artists by providing a space to record and rehearse in Devon, available myself for tutorage or guidance.
