Bio

I am a professional performing artist, producer and composer. I have a master's degree in musicology from Edinburgh Napier University, 16 years of music practice, 6 years of music production practice & 12 years of professional performance and writing experience under my belt. At the age of 11, my dad handed down to me his old Les Paul so that I could learn the guitar. From that moment on, I was hooked. In the following years I would tell anyone that would listen, "I don't care what I do with my life, as long as I'm involved in music."

​

Throughout high school I researched the grades and entry requirements I needed to begin studying music at university level. I focused my learning towards achieving this goal, and in 2013 I was accepted into a course in Music Performance at North East Scotland College (formerly Aberdeen College.) Each step of my educational career has proved challenging in different ways. I have had to develop as an instrumentalist, focusing on techniques and styles as well as broadening my horizons into music production and business studies, in order to meet the standards set at each stage. I am always open to improving myself and never turn down an opportunity to try new things. A lot of my peers have told me that studying and working in music has left them feeling disenchanted and that something they once loved has become a chore. For me, nothing could be further from the truth. Studying music has only made me gain new appreciation for the art form and helped me connect with it even further. At the end of a long day working in a musical environment, I still love nothing more than unwinding by playing drums or putting on a good record.
