ABOUT

Hello! I'm musician with specialties in Lead and Rhythm guitar playing as well as singing either backup or lead with a diverse knowledge of harmonies.
I have played many instruments in my time and can often be found to pick up most things very quickly as I play by sight most of the time.

I am a trained sound engineer and know my way around digital audio workstations. I have great experience recording whole bands simultaneously.

I come ready with all the equipment I need to play gigs and am a fully qualified driver, happy to drive up to about 15 miles or so.

Influences

I listen to vast genres of music as I have a good selection of records to go through; you will quite often find me listening to Steeley Dan, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac (before and during Buckingham and Nicks), Supertramp and many other similar artists. My fondness for these bands makes me quite keen on frequent key, tempo and signature changes so I like a challenge!

EQUIPMENT

I have a varied range of instruments, many electric guitars, acoustic guitars, old keyboards, ukuleles, basses and even a lap steel I made myself over lockdown!
I have my own amplifier and have everything I need to create the sounds that people know me for. Everything from rock to the lightest laidback tune to synth pop is what I can make easily so just give me a bell and I’ll see what I can do for you!
