About Me

Hello! Thanks for getting this far, here's a bit about me...

I started playing drums when I was 14 but when my mum got sick of complaints from the neighbours she bought me a guitar and this was when I fell head over heels in love with music.  

I left home at 18 and got a job as a door to door salesman and it was when I realised people were more likely to switch their gas and electricity after playing them a couple of songs, I started considering a career in music. I got lucky, landed a sweet deal playing guitar for a couple of artists signed to UMG and Sony and began teaching guitar on the side. 

Soon after I realised I loved writing lyrics as well as music and decided to pursue a career as an artist in my own right. I released an EP, China Doll, which received a fair amount of positive press, some of which can be found here; supported Gold selling pop-star Gabrielle Aplin (review for that gig can be found here) and various other mainstream artists including Becky Hill, Stooshie and JP Cooper. I've also received radio support from BBC Introducing and Radio X for the lead track 'China Doll', which comes alongside a fun music video. 

I now mainly write and produce songs for other people; songs I’ve written have received millions of streams, appeared on dozens of tv shows, recieved Radio 1 playlist spots and recently I wrote and produced the theme song for Apple TV series ‘Best Foot Forward’. A playlist of recent cuts can be found here.

When I'm not playing or writing music I enjoy reading (recent favourites include 'Hangover Square', 'Bonjour Tristesse' and 'Into The Wild'), spending time with my wife Ruth and our two children (Edie and Avery) and binging on Netflix and the cinema. 

That's about it for me, please get in touch if you have any questions (or good Netflix recommendations...seriously) and I'll do my best to answer them! But I'll just finish off by saying that there really is nothing else I love more than sharing my passion for playing live and I promise I will always turn up ready to give 110%, and do everything in my power to make your day as memorable and as perfect as possible.
