SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I've been playing bass for 17 years and been gigging for 14 years, encompassing gigs up and down the country and on the continent. Initially starting out in a number of local London metal bands, I've recently branched out into informal and pop covers for functions and am looking to find more opportunities to explore this a bit further. I've also performed backing vocals across most of my career.

Influences
Anything and everything, from Thundercat to Cannibal Corpse. My main influences growing up were Geezer Butler, Cliff Burton and Steve Harris, but I've learnt that speed and heaviness aren't everything and lean more into the melodic style of playing now that I'm getting older and wiser!
