“In spring/summer of 2018 I was extremely grateful to become a composer in residence at The Pimlott Foundation. This period lead to my debut LP self-released in April 2019; a collection of duets titled ISHALTA and a live EP titled Strange Meeting | Live at The Pimlott Foundation in April 2020.
Recent credits include a Snape Maltings summer residency with Frazer Merrick’s trio and a UK tour with Modern Nature. I began working live-sound at Fleece Jazz in 2018 and I am currently working with St Pancras Old Church as a live-sound engineer.
I am a freelance teacher approved by DBS, Tutorful, musicteachers.co.uk, Tutorfair et al. and I teach weekly at Harris Academy Battersea.”

Electric Bass
Composition
Improvisation
Sight Reading
Jazz Theory
Drum Kit + Rhythm Skills
Instrument Maintenance + Repair [as a former student of Michigan based Master Luthier, Bryan Galloup.]
Tuition is structured entirely around you, the student. My aim is to equip every student with the skills and knowledge they need to pursue their interests and achieve their potential in music; to discover and develop their own unique voice and structure ways of sharing and connecting with others.”
