PORTFOLIO
With my experience within the industry, I am able to perform a variety of styles, either by reading music or playing by ear. I am also comfortable with a variety of required drum kit setups, including fully-acoustic, electronic, or a hybrid of both, as well as incorporating percussion, and offering BV's.
I have been fortunate enough to be able to work with various amazing bands and artists, do studio sessions both remotely from home (in which I've contributed for artists based in NY, Seattle, Toronto, Berlin, Sweden, France, and more), or in-person across the UK. I have also played countless gigs across the UK and Portugal, as well as other European countries, I've toured the UK, and have done festivals, and music videos. I am very organised, detail-oriented, well-prepared, focused and always ready to listen, and better myself for the project and client.
