Sounds Like
Lots of different stuff.. hopefully I sound like the right thing for each artist or song that I'm playing on...
I'm a London based musician that has ben called upon for so many different jobs that sometimes it makes my head spin. I'm primarily a bassist and guitarist, but I've also worn the hats of producer, arranger, songwriter and teacher. In the studio I'll play a bit of whatever's needed, including drums, Keys, dobro, banjo, Mandolin, Tin Whistle, percussion, harmonica and Bv's.
I'm working hard with lots of different projects but I'm always listening out for new and interesting artists to write, produce and play with.
When I'm not making music, I love watching good movies and practicing Wing Chun.
