ABOUT ME

I started playing guitar when I was nine years old. My first guitar was an Argos basic acoustic guitar that my grandparents bought for me – the kind that many people have knocking about the loft! I loved it immediately, and I’ve been playing guitar ever since. I started singing around the time I started to play in bands, when I was about fifteen years old. I fronted my first band, a punk metal act called Alive at Night, which later evolved into a band called ‘A Room Swept Night’. I was a part of A Room Swept Night for eight years and experienced some amazing things along the way. We were lucky enough to play alongside some incredible bands and perform at some of the country’s biggest festivals.

About three years ago, I started performing in a high-end indie rock function band called The White Rooms; performing at weddings, parties, and corporate functions across the country. This gave me more time and opportunity to branch out further into audio engineering and music production. I started to produce, write, mix, and engineer for many different artists and soon to be clients. I’ve been lucky enough to make a career out of this, working on many great projects – the highlight of which was producing and mixing MAMI by Serani and Jay Rico. Recently, I have found increasing interest in and passion for sound design and creation for game audio and sound to film, which I’m excited to develop further
