Born in Derby and spending most of my life living in the Derbyshire village of Codnor, I have been raised in the centre of a vibrant live music scene. Not only has there been a healthy variety of local venues with a great selection of artists to watch, but there has also been a large number of places from which to purchase and enjoy recorded music.

“Raised on a selection of country, blues, rock and soul these styles have strongly influenced my own and have helped shape me into the performer I am today.”

Although I only began performing in 2015 with my first ever live performance being at The Dixies Arms open mic on Thursday 17th December of that year, I have been singing for most of my life. Whether it be driving, walking down the street, at work, or even in the shower, I never stop singing. It was because of this enjoyment of singing and music, along with some encouragement from family and friends, that I decided to pursue a career in music.

I am constantly growing, improving, and honing my skills on both my voice and the guitar. This website has a great selection of videos of my performances, a full set list which is always growing, and the ability to view my calendar to see where I am playing in the future.
