About

About	I am a professional piano player and improviser working and gigging in Leeds and across the UK. All my knowledge that I have picked up from studying, gigging and rehearsing I wish to pass on to you. My musical journey started when I was a teenager, I joined a songwriting development group in Bromley (Kent) where I grew up. There, I was exposed to so much music from our mentors, I already had quite a specific taste at this point (I loved Stevie Wonder, the Beatles, Prince, D’Angelo etc) but my taste widened over the years of exposure to different musical concepts, styles and genre. This eventually lead me to study Jazz at Leeds Conservatoire, where I had Matthew Bourne as a teacher – which lead me to an even wider scope of music, especially improvised music and Free Jazz. I first saw an improvised trio called ‘The Thing’ in my first year, and it changed how I saw music. The energy they created on stage was electric. After seeing that, I decided to dedicate my life to not only improvised music but also having as much passion for music, whatever genre and style, that those three people on that stage had.
