I made this myspace background at BackgroundStation.com
I have been playing the Piano & keyboard for over 10 years and my main passion is for jazz music. I played with a Trio at jam sessions and gigs in and around Manchester. With the Trio I played in, I wrote and arranged the tunes with Stuart Whitehead, who has guided me in this field. I met him at a jam session at Band On The Wall in Manchester when I was 17, and from then on we have played countless times together becoming very tight as a rhythm section for various bands. I was also part of a Live dance act band called 'LTA' aka, Love The Action. They were on the label PhutureLounge, which Dave Jones aka Zed Bias was behind. Whilst on the label, I did session work for Zed Bias, who is known to many as a great producer & is very much still active on the current scene today.
I played on an album which got released called 'Rainbow Soul Vol 1' on Phuture lounge recordings. to hear samples of the album go to:

I play solo piano occasionally, but mainly play in larger ensembles. I currently live in London & have just finished a Degree Jazz Music at Middlesex University.
At present, I'm in a few bands, two of which are featured in the videos. The first is with my trio back in Manchester, featuring Stuart Whitehead on Bass, & Sam Draper on Drums.
The second is a Quintet which was formed at uni, feat. Jack Kendon leading on Trumpet. Also included in the band are Jonny G - Alto, Adam King - Bass & John French - Drums.
I also play with Tim Collinson in Duo & Quartet settings.
Currently i'm looking to play with people not just in the Jazz field, but also in the Broken Beat/New jazz/Disco House/Electronica scene.
Please email if your interested in collaborating.
Thanks!
