ABOUT

**Former lead guitarist for legendary UK thash metal band: Onslaught.**

***NEW FOR 2026: I have recently decided to part ways with Onslaught after nearly 10 years of touring the world! I’ve taken a much needed break and I’m now ready for a new challenge! If you are a touring/signed band looking for a guitarist (or bassist) of a professional standard, get in touch! I’m interested mostly in heavy metal (especially power metal) but am willing to consider other genres.

I am an accomplished and respected musician with extensive experience in the studio and on the road. If you need a confident and competent musician with a down to earth attitude, I can definitely help you. Offers for session/dep or permanent work are more than welcome.

***Services I can offer include (but not limited to):

Guitars (both lead and rhythm)
Bass guitar (fingerstyle and pick)
Vocals (mostly backing, but I have fronted bands before, also FYI: I’m a clean vocalist)
Songwriting (including orchestration and arrangements)
Studio session work (recording sessions can be either at your studio or I can record from my own)
Live session work (I have transport and will travel)

***Sorry, I'm not interested in cover/tribute bands at this time.***

Get in touch if you have any questions.

Influences

My influences are as diverse as my tastes in music, ranging from most of the well-known rock and metal acts all the way to classical and pop music. As far as metal guitar goes, my playing style is most closely influenced by players such as Gus G, Stéphan Forté and Jeff Loomis. I'm a definite Shredder but have a good sense of melody.

When it comes to bass, I’m disciplined and understand the role so will always play to the song but I am quite happy to get involved in the crazy Billy Sheehan/Franck Hermany territory if the song calls for it.
