About / Biography

Professional singer and guitarist, with optional percussion accompaniment to suit the client's needs.

I specialise in pop/rock, both classical and contemporary, mainly from the 80s to the 2000s with a touch of rock 'n' roll, ultimately songs that people know, sing along to and dance to for a fun and engaging time, and our feedback confirms this.

I can perform solo or in duet with a cajón (box drum) which enhances the performance in an up close and practical way.

I offer a dynamic and high quality show, interacting with the audience and bringing lots of energy and feeling to my performances to make them exciting, special and generally make sure the fun turns 90.


I guarantee a fun, heartfelt and memorable performance.

As for me, I've been performing for about 13 years now and I have a wide range of gigging experience in all different styles - I've performed in several cover bands over the years, played at a few festivals, run my own live music project and often perform on the street, open mics and jam sessions - this has been my profession and occupation since I can remember.
