ABOUT

I am a London-based professional drummer known for being experienced, reliable, versatile, and easy to work with.

Since settling in London in 1996, I have worked full-time both as a committed band member and a freelance musician, performing live and in the studio across a wide range of musical styles.

My career has taken me to packed venues throughout the UK and internationally.

Driven by a deep passion for music, performance, and entertainment, I am always seeking new opportunities to create, collaborate, and evolve - whether through long-term projects or short-term engagements.
