ABOUT

London-based professional drummer, session musician and groove specialist with 25+ years of international live, studio and touring experience.

I’m a pocket-first player with a deep feel for funk, soul, rock, blues, pop, jazz and world music — focused on serving the song, locking the groove and delivering clean, musical performances both on stage and in the studio.

I’ve performed at major festivals and venues including Glastonbury, Jazz Café London, Istanbul Jazz Festival, and worked with internationally recognised artists such as Blues Brothers Band, Chuck Berry and Uriah Heep.
Alongside performing, I spent 14+ years in Artist Relations & Product Development at Istanbul Agop Cymbals, working closely with top-level drummers worldwide — so I understand both the artistic and professional sides of the industry.

I also run my own studio, offering professional drum recording and remote session services with high-quality audio and fast turnaround.

Available for:
• Live gigs & touring
• Studio / remote sessions
• Professional drum tracking from my studio
• Dep work
• Drum lessons & mentoring

Reliable, prepared, easy to work with. No ego — just solid groove and great takes.
