I have recorded in some of the UK’s best studios, such as Metropolis Studios, Rockfield studios and Universal Studios, plus I have performed in some of the best venues in London including the 02 academy Shepherds Bush and Camden Roundhouse to name a couple. I currently hold a Bachelors degree from the BIMM Institute in London as well as a Masters degree in Music and Sonic Media, where I excelled in composition for multi-media and sound design. Outside of performance, I compose for a variety of different multimedia streams such as podcasts, TV, film and documentaries. As a guitar teacher, I have been active for over 10 years, working with students from all over the world to help them achieve their guitar playing goals, be it learning songs, theory, soloing or exams.

I have been working with Ben for 18 months and he has taken my playing to new levels of enjoyment and confidence. He is patient and perceptive and can make even the most complex reaches of music theory sound understandable and fun. He is, in short, an outstanding music teacher.
