My chosen career as a musician working at a top industry level has required me to be multi-faceted, driven and entrepreneurial.I work well under pressure and have performed at a top industry level appearing on TV, touring throughout the UK and overseas in venues such as at the O2 London, and recording in studios as a freelance session musician.I have a high standard of work ethic and an excellent, natural rapport with people which I learned throughout my years as a guitar tutor and workshop leader.I continue to work as a musician, pushing myself further and it compliments my photography perfectly as I get to use my eyes as well as my ears.
