I've been drumming since a young age, currently in 2 Bands. Uppercut (Grunge/Heavy rock), which is based in the Buckinghamshire area, started this up at 16 years old, had the opportunity to play in London several times, got the opportunity to meet ith a representative of Marshall Records not too long ago, gig nearly every weekend with this band.
Also in a metalcore band called Reign Of Khan, going on a UK mini tour in the second week of May with these guys, Currently working on a single to be released not long before the tour starts, joined these guys a little over 6 months ago.
Also had the pleasure to work with various artists in around my local area, 'Hume' is a vocalist & guitarist in the indie genre that borrowed me for a few recordings and live performances, met through a friend.

Influences
Started off playing pop rock when I was 7 years old, also wanted to go and nail my gradings too so I spent a lot of time getting used to music from a young age. I'm still playing everyday, just as always, except I moved on from JUST songs and gradings (I did gradings 1 dist,3 dist,6 merit, and 7 merit) quite a while ago and wanted to become a much better musician and performer. I work on multiple styles at a time with my teacher who I've had all these years, planning to go to BIMM in Brighton in September 2017. Really looking to work on projects with various kinds of people and all kinds of genres to really expand my knowledge and tackle new challenges. I take a lot of drumming influences from bands like Sworn In, Basement, and Knocked Loose. I'm a big Metal & hardcore fan, however I enjoy listening and studying pieces by groups such as snarky puppy and other band/projects that I feel challenge me.
