Welcome...
I am a 17 year old musician. I play piano, tenor
and alto saxophones, clarinet, guitar, cello, double bass,
bass guitar and drums.
To see some videos of me playing live please click here.
I am a permanent member of several professional bands, including
my award-winning contemporary jazz trio Infusion,
the Denmark
Street Big Band, Miles Davis tribute band Milestones,
The
Ken Turner Big Band, and
Phase 2 Big Band.
The Denmark Street Big Band are probably London's top big
band, and with them I have worked with internationally renowned
artistes such as Mitch Winehouse, Tatiana Okupnik and Bobby
Davro and played at venues such as Pizza Express, Floridita,
the Pheasantry and Jazz Cafe POSK.
In May 2011 my trio Infusion won the Budvar Brewed Jazz competition
at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival. The aim of the annual competition
is to find the best pub jazz bands in the UK, and attracts
a broad range of entrants from all over the country. Artistic
Director of the festival, Tony Dudley Evans, says that the
Budvar Brewed Jazz program has helped raised the game for
the Cheltenham event when it comes to celebrating the very
best up-and-coming talent on the UK pub music scene. "This
Budvar initiative has always produced some really exciting
entrants and it continues to prove what diverse and outstanding
talent the UK pub scene has to offer" he said.
In 2010 Infusion were finalists in the UK Jazz Radio Young
Jazz Performer of the Year competition at the Marlborough
Jazz Festival, and I won the prize for "Best Original
Composition".
We also host a jazz jam night in Buckhurst Hill on Sunday
evenings. For more details please click here
to go to the JazzJam
website. Infusion are also available as a "rhythm
section for hire", for instrumentalists and vocalists
who need a backing band for a gig. For more details please
go to the Infusion
website.
I can also provide solo background piano for weddings, dinners
and corporate events (you can hear me playing some solo pieces
by clicking here).
I have in the past also played with the Mervyn Wright Big
Band, the Les Leader Band, the National Youth Jazz Orchestra
(NYJO), the Essex Symphonic Wind Orchestra, Essex Youth Jazz
Orchestra, Hertfordshire Youth Jazz Orchestra, the Essex Young
People's Orchestra, The Sid Bolan Big Band, the Eddy Edwards
Band, the Phoenix Big Band, the Melvin Beddow Big Band, and
the David Charles Big Band.
I also recently worked as Assistant Musical Director on Watford
Palace Theatre's production of "Hello Mr. Capello",
shadowing the wonderful Matt Greenwood - a fantastic opportunity
and an amazing experience.
I also have perfect (or absolute) pitch. You can find out
a bit more about it here.
You can find out more about the various instruments I play
