live performer,
Songwriter,
session musician
based in SouthWest UK
I have been performing on stage and in the recording studio as a professional singer/pianist for over a decade now (how can that be??). After graduating from my music performance degree in 2013, I worked in various function bands performing at weddings, festivals, events and functions big and small. Around 2016, I branched out into writing bespoke songs and scores for local theatre productions, short films and community projects and have earned a reputation within my community for my high standard of work and fast project delivery. I am currently gigging as a solo pianobar entertainter on land and at sea on the cruise ships. So far I have worked for Marella and P&O Cruises and have been lucky enough to perform in some exotic places all around the world. When I'm not performing live, I am writing and producing my own music or working as the composer and creative facilitator for various local short films - many of which have turned out to be award winning! See my 'Past Projects' page for examples of these.
