| £20.0“Music has always been the heartbeat of my life. My journey began with classical piano at the Yorkshire College of Music, but everything changed when I first heard George Benson’s In Flight album. That moment sparked a deep passion for the guitar, an instrument that would become my voice.
Recently, I released my third album, All I Need, a collection that’s vibrant, captivating, and profoundly personal. Each melody is a reflection of my heart, and I’m thrilled to finally share this music with you.
My path as a guitarist has been one of emotion and melody, where every note carries a piece of my soul. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship to study jazz at The Guildhall School of Music, a pivotal experience that opened doors to incredible musical adventures. From performing in a variety of settings to serving as the musical director for the West End show Unforgettable, and later playing in the acclaimed Get Up Stand Up, my career has been a series of extraordinary moments.
In 2016, I had the honour of participating in the Sky Arts series Guitar Star, a highlight of my journey. During the show, I performed one of my original compositions, and the legendary George Benson offered me unforgettable praise: “I really enjoyed your playing. You’re one of the few cats who can make that thing sound so good.”
As I continue to refine my craft, I look forward to sharing every step of this journey with you. The road ahead is full of promise, and I can’t wait to see where the music takes us”
