I'm currently looking for a guitarist / pianist to collaborate with on songs in the vein of soul, jazz, folk, pop, crossover.
I'm based in East London but happy to travel for the right project.
I'd also be happy to record or sing live for a songwriter who is not a performer or to provide harmonies / backing vocals / top line melody inspiration for anyone who feels my voice would suit their material.
If you like my voice and want to find out more get in touch
