ARTIST PROFILE
I am an 19 year old drummer of 12 years who has studied up to grade 8 in the Trinity College London exam board gaining distinction throughout each grade. At the age of 16 I was accepted into the Birmingham Ormiston Academy (BOA) who specialise in Performing and Creative Arts where I studied Music full-time. I am currently studying for my BA Music degree specialising in Jazz at the Leeds Conservatoire, this is where I have one to one drum tuition with renowned international professional drummer Sebastiaan De Krom who has toured and recorded with, most notably, Herbie Hancock and Jamie Cullum.
At the age of 16 I auditioned and was accepted into The Vivas who are an award winning national function band who play all over the UK. I enjoy touring as well as filming promotional videos and doing various photo shoots that are part of our busy schedule. Starting to work as a professional musician at such a young age is a great experience and is one that I would recommend to anyone who wants to start their career in the industry. As well as The Vivas I play in a more casual band, Mad Sounds, we are a 2 piece indie rock duo signed with Distrokid Labels with an EP and a single released on Spotify and other platforms such as Apple Music and Deezer. I also play with upcoming singer-songwriters Joe Ward, who will be releasing his first single later this year, and Harry Moon of which I play in his band, Harry Moon and the Cardboard Rocket, who have recently started to gather a following across the UK.
I have performed in the pit band of numerous musical theatre shows such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Legally Blonde, Little Shop of Horrors and Sister Act in various venues across the West Midlands including the Old Rep Theatre in Birmingham. As a session musician I am very versatile and I promote myself on multiple social media platforms by covering lots of genres of music and artists that interest and inspire me, numerous examples of this can be found on my social media links.
