Call me an anomaly. Ten years of classical piano, three years studying theatre, seven years spent touring the world as a juggler and fire-eater, and now I play bass. I'm pretty free when it comes to genre, though I express a preference for interesting, exciting music.

I also play keyboard, I'm pretty good at arranging, I do a bit of home recording and production now and then, and I have been known to issue forth deep vocal sounds when called upon. I've just started playing the electric violin as well, though I wouldn't advise hiring me on that basis.

If you're reasonably local to Aylesbury, drop me a line - I'm looking for a challenge, and I aim to go all the way.

Influences:

Johann Sebastian Bach, Cliff Burton, Niccolo Paganini, Steve Harris, Opeth, Motorhead, Meshuggah, Tool, Paul Simon, Abba, Alice in Chains, Johnny Clegg, and sometimes, just sometimes, Necrophagist. But not often.
