About
| About | As a digitally-skilled jazz and jazz fusion guitarist, I offer elegant performances and make complex musical concepts accessible in lessons for guitar and bass. With both practical and academic music backgrounds, I connect well with students’ diverse needs while continually improving as a performer and teacher: **- Currently pursuing a BA (Hons) Music with the Open University
Actively studying myself, I understand both the joys and challenges of learning new skills. |

| My Musical Inspirations | I was inspired by the music played by my parents as I was growing up. This was truly diverse! In addition to this music, my father being an active musician allowed us to play his band’s instruments and also explore his and mum’s collection of countless cassette tapes. Here are my earliest memories of inspiring music: • Phil Collins and Philip Bailey • Gospel and Christian Contemporary music, including John P Kee, Cece Winans, Kirk Franklin, Marvin Sapp, Steven Curtis Chapman, and others of a similar ilk • Jazz, which remains a fundamental source of inspiration: George Benson, Frank Gambale, Charlie Christian, as well as the works of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Emily Remler, Jimmy Dludlu, South African Jazz, and jazz from the 1940s through to today • Rock and Fusion: Greg Howe, Guthrie Govan, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and so on • Motown, Funk and Disco: Diana Ross, The Supremes, and others. As you can see, I continue to listen to and draw inspiration from all kinds of music. However, my favourites remain the genres of Jazz, Jazz Fusion, and Jazz Rock (sometimes called Rock Fusion).
