Since Graduating from Uni I have worked mainly as a performer, playing the drums.I have a grade 8, am a competent sight reader and can comfortably play any contemporary drumming style either live or in a studio. I studied at the University of Westminster gaining a 2.1 degree in Commercial Music B.A. (Hons.) . I studied business strategy under Keith Harris (Head of Music Tank) and specialised in writing about music and economics as well as politics. I also have A-levels in Performing Arts and Drama and love playing comical characters and working inside the theatrical device of 'Total Theatre'.

I am currently employed by the theatre company Rideout - creative arts for reabilitation - as a musician and performer untill March the 14th of this year when I have no other work booked as yet. I have mainly worked as a session and live musician with hundreds of hours of studio experience and hundreds of live shows including Glastonbury in 2005. I also done a four month internship at ministry of sound records and went on to work as a media analyst in the Mayor of Londons press office in City Hall.

I am a great organiser of people and of my own time and have made many succesful projects out of it.
