Bio
I was born on the 30th September 1987 and have always lived in Andover, Hampshire, United Kingdom. As far back as I can remember, music has always been a major attraction to me. I was always asked as a child what instrument I'd like to take up and, without hesitation, drums would always come into my head!.. My dreams became reality at the age of 13 when I picked up my first pair of drumsticks back in Year 9 at secondary school. After receiving 2 very valuable years of teaching at school, my mind had already opened up to the incredibly rich world of rhythm and groove. I'd listen to CDs or music on the radio and imagine how the drum parts would be played. Soon enough, I developed the ability to use my ears to convert the patterns I was hearing onto the drum kit. To me, there are three types of musicians. Musicians who are classically trained and read music flawlessly, musicians who can improvise and have a natural ability to jam, or musicians who have both qualities. I like to embrace all three types. I started my drumming life as someone who was very good at hearing music and having the memory to play it back how I'd imagine it to sound. But after being taught how to read music, it quickly becomes clear that you can discover a virtually unlimited amount of rhythm out there in the world. With this project, I aim to bridge the gap between players who read well but find it hard to improvise freely, and vise versa. In July 2010, I graduated at the University of Portsmouth with a degree in BSc (Hons) Music and Sound Technology. It's also worth pointing out that the website content (videos, audio, artwork etc) is all created and edited by myself. I enjoy the engineering and technical side of music just as much as the playing side!

In Darklight

In Darklight is the band I drum for. Since their formation in 2004, In Darklight have evolved into a band with a sound equally at home across alternative or commercial airways. This broad appeal stems from a unique creation of exhilarating pop melodies and thickset rock, laced with technical mastery and razor sharp lyrical prowess.

Based in Hampshire, their self titled EP, released August 2011, is the follow up to debut album, ‘Dying to Confess’, and marks their evolution into a 3-piece. A distinctive influence-list generates an exclusive, fresh character with far reaching potential.

Boisterous yet tight live shows, complimented with a stylish onstage image, combine flawlessly with the bands song writing nous, and have shaken an array of prestigious venues to date. New EP available now on physical CD, iTunes, Amazon and more.
