SEEKING

ABOUT

Im a guitarist and teacher with plenty of live and studio experience. I recently placed in the top 8 of the international Guitar Idol 2014 competition with my song 'Catch The Sun', playing the live final at the London Olympia. I'm comfortable playing a variety of styles but my passion and natural sound falls within the soulful hard rock and progressive metal category, combining elements of rock, metal, fusion, jazz, blues, soul, and funk .

The teaching work has taken over last few years so I'm looking to meet some like minded musicians, put a project together and get back out there playing. I write my own material and function well as a self sufficient musician but work at my best when jamming and bouncing ideas of other musicians. I have good arranging skills, can read and write music, happy to play supporting role or take the lead when the music demands it.
