About

I started playing bass guitar when I was 14 and quickly advanced, studying A level Music and Music Tech, before winning “Best in Rock and Pop” in Milton Keynes Music Service. I was then accepted at Leeds College of Music to study Popular Music. After studying specialising in performance on the Electric Bass and minoring in songwriting, I spent a year working abroad as a professional musician and managing function bands before returning home to work on passion projects.

This musical work culminated in performances on the Glastonbury and Standon Calling Festival BBC Introducing Stages and 02 Academies Oxford and Islington. I have produced multiple tracks which have achieved 30,000 + plays on Spotify, and have co-written a song which has been played on BBC Introducing on Radio 1.

I have experience teaching a range of age groups, from 6 year olds to adults. I have a lot of experience teaching in a group format, however I prefer one to one teaching as it allows me to focus on the specific needs of the student and allows me to adapt my teaching appropriately.
