Lead Guitarist / Composer — London (Symphonic / Progressive Metal)
I’m a London-based lead guitarist, composer, and educator with over 30 years of experience performing and writing across classical and metal genres.
By day I teach A-Level Music — including harmony, Bach chorales, and analysis — and by night I return to my roots in progressive and symphonic metal, blending technical guitar work with classical structure and orchestration.
I’m not a hobbyist; I’m a professional musician looking for serious, creative collaborators — people who want to rehearse regularly, refine their sound, and perform or record at a professional level.
