About me
I have always been a keen musician, spending my teenage years in and around Music Studios. Primarily a Bass Guitar player, I have played a range of musical styles from Jazz to Classical Orchestral pieces. I have a wealth of experience when it comes to the world of gigging, from playing covers at parties and weddings to writing original material; I have played in bands up and down the country and am currently active within the Manchester music scene. Having recorded three EP’s with three different bands as well as my own material I have experience in music production as well as stage and studio setups. Through studying music at GCSE, A-Level and through grades I can sight read music as well as improvise. I hope to bring this experience to a full time role within the music industry and will consider a range of positions that may be available.Additional skills:
Hold a BA(hons) degree in History.
