ABOUT
I am an experienced keyboard player, specialising in Hammond organ, but also piano and keyboards. I am a full-time musician available for session/dep work, in addition to my own ongoing band projects. My specialist genres are jazz/funk/ska/reggae/blues, but I have experience of playing a broad range of styles, including those commonly played on the function circuit. I can sight read music and also offer BVs where required. I am based in Epsom, Surrey but am willing to travel and have my own transport.
