Keyboardist/ Drummer Session Musician
As a composer, drummer and pianist for electro-swing band, The Electric Swing Circus, I racked up 8+ years of live touring experience in a massive variety of live performance environments, including festivals, open-air + indoor stages, clubs and corporate events.
If you would like me to session with your band or play a guest solo on your upcoming album, or simply track keyboard/ drums for a song you’re working on, get in touch to discuss! I particularly enjoy playing Jazz, Neo-soul & Funk.

1:1 Mentoring
I have 3+ years of teaching experience on both the drum kit and the piano (by extension all keyboard-based instruments) so I also offer personal tuition covering a wide range of educational topics suited to bettering one's musicality.
I can help you with variations of chords and drumming technique, as well as offering historical and technical context to the music you're playing. We will connect on a weekly basis.
