I’ve been playing the piano ever since I can remember. We were a musical family where everyone played at least something, and you could pretty much find most instruments in the house. I always loved the piano, and although I play other instruments - guitar, trombone, bass and drums at a push, piano is the one instrument I kept coming back to.
I started writing songs when I was about seven. I had a piano teacher who would make me come up with an idea for him every week and get me to sit in on jazz sessions well out of my depth. But, although daunting as a child, it increased my courage to get up and play.
After college I went straight to music school - The Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, where I was meant to study guitar, but in fact spent most of my time playing the piano.
I then moved up to London and started playing various gigs around town. I was spotted by Steinway & Sons and provided with sponsorship for which I am really grateful.
The music I write is essentially piano-driven pop music, following in the wake of the great songwriters such as Elton John, Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder. I love to write songs that are catchy, with a melody that you can sing, and are easy to remember.
My current aim is to get my music heard by more people, so if you like what I do - spread the word. Thanks to everyone who has supported me so far - I truly appreciate it, I couldn’t have got this far without you!
