About me
I'm a 23 year old drummer from Berkshire and have been playing drums and percussion for more than fifteen years. I teach kit with the Rock Project in Oxfordshire, one on one lessons, freelance and studio work. I specialise in Rock, Grunge, Metal, Hip-hop and Soul.I am the drummer for two bands - Black Emerald, our album 'Hell Can't Handle All of Us' was released in 2018. I also drum and sing backing vox for InAir, an alt-rock band from Reading. Our EP, 'A Different Light' received great reviews from Kerrang and a host of magazines and blogs. Our new EP is due to be released in September, the first single Chemicals was released July 9th and the video can be watched below.
I graduated in 2016 with a Degree in Music Performance (BMus) from the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, having been taught by the likes of Frank Tontoh (Amy Winehouse, Jack Bruce, Brother Strut) and Pete Riley (Republica, Guthrie Govan and Phil Hilbourne).
I am a member of the Musician's Union and have appropriate Liability Insurance and enhanced DBS in place. I have my own equipment, transport (car and 7-seater crew van) and a friendly, professional attitude. I am available for depping, studio work, general freelancing and teaching - please contact me if you have any requirements.
