Having studied music for over eight years, my overriding passion has, and always will be, the guitar. Upon listening to the great artists of the past, I have drawn huge inspiration from their playing / recordings, and as a result I have been fortunate enough to develop my dexterity on both the acoustic and electric guitar, all the while making sure to develop my own unique musical sound / sonic fingerprint.

Music is a language through which I express my emotions, thoughts, and experiences. When I play, the guitar becomes an extension of myself, allowing me to convey feelings that words alone cannot capture. As I delve deeper into the world of songwriting, the power of storytelling through music becomes augmented, and it has become my primary means of self-expression.

Over the years, I have dedicated myself to honing my instrumental and vocal skills and developing my musical understanding. I’ve explored a great variety of genres, my favourites being the blues as well as rock and folk / country music, and each has contributed to my musical growth. I’ve had the privilege of performing at local events and I am about to embark on studying music in higher education as a means to further develop my professionalism and musical craft, at Bath Spa University.
