My Story

For the last 16 years I have made my living teaching and playing guitar. Since graduating with a BMus (Hons) from The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London in 2014, I’ve been fortunate enough to work for high profile clients such as the Princes Trust, the BBC and the Royal Air Force. I’ve also been a long standing part of the UK wedding and corporate scene as a singer/guitarist and traveled internationally to Dubai and Bahrain to play six nights per week in residency bands with some of the music industry’s finest players.

Alongside my playing experience, I have also spent many hours honing in on my teaching skills and take pride in the success of my guitar students, many of which have gone on to become fantastic players in their own right. I take great pleasure in passing on my knowledge and experience to students.
