Multi-instrumentalist, composer, teacher, creative practitioner, project manager
I am a freelance musician working across multiple disciplines based in Bristol. I have released multiple albums and EPs with various projects, gaining support from industry tastemakers such as BBC 6Music’s Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio London’s Robert Elms, Jazz FM, CLASH Magazine and more. I have performed at multiple venues and festivals such as the Elgar Rooms at Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and Glastonbury Festival.
Alongside this, I run songwriting workshops in a variety of settings and have curated and managed multiple projects across the UK and internationally, centred around wellbeing, working with clients such as Breathe Arts Health Research, St George’s Hospital Charity and NJEA conference, USA.
I am currently composing a large project centred around grief and healing called ‘Onwards and Upwards’.
I also lived in London for 8 years working as a musician. During this time, I worked as Learning & Production Manager for Tomorrow’s Warriors until 2021 alongside my performance career. In this role, I programmed over 150 gigs per year, managed a learning programme of over 100 students aged 11 - 25 and oversaw a team of 8 (Music Leaders and assistants). I pioneered a Summer School and tour managed large ensembles at events such as the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall and the Big Day in London event at the Royal Festival Hall.
