Formed in London, The Kubricks are a seven-piece band who mix ska, reggae, and infectious melodic pop.

After surfacing in 2013 with their debut EP, ‘Wasters & Wannabes’, The Kubricks soon became one of the must-see ska bands of this generation. Tracks from their debut release were supported by Huey Morgan on BBC Radio 2, and Tom Robinson (BBC Introducing – 6Music), and The Specials’ bassist, Horace Panter championed the band, claiming, “I can hear Madness, The Ruts, Squeeze and The Clash in there…” The timing was perfect, and coincided with a new interest in ska music, as many of UK’s festivals began dedicating entire stages to the genre. Riding on the back of this wave, the band soon found themselves supporting legends such as UB40, Bad Manners and The Toasters.

Produced by Toby Davies of Gentleman’s Dub Club, the band’s first album ‘The Heist’ was released in 2017. The UK’s longest-running skazine, Do The Dog, commented at the time that it was, “A very strong contender for album of the year”, whilst Bucketlist in Canada called it, “A gem of an album that makes ska and reggae seem like a perfect fit with 21st-century musical trends.” Tom Robinson (6Music) immediately shared the track ‘Down With the Dogs’ with his listeners, and BBC Introducing in Essex soon began supporting the album, inviting the band in for a live session.

Following two autumn UK tours, the band released a brand new album in December 2022 titled ‘Between Antipodes’. Their most ska-pop record to date, production duties were taken by Tom Donovan – producer and musician from hip-hop act, Monster Florence.

The Kubricks have honed their commanding live set, headlining their own shows and playing festivals across Europe. They have played to tens of thousands over the years with appearances at the Isle of Wight Festival, Kendal Calling, Green Man, Shambala, Boomtown Fair, Bearded Theory’s Spring Gathering, Godiva, Weinturm Open Air (Germany), Lott Festival (Germany), Zik ‘n’ Roll (France), Dance Ska La (France), and The London International Ska Festival, amongst many others.

I play bass with Ska-Pop band 'The Kubricks' and I've also played and recorded with the now defunct 'BIZZY' and pop band 'Jagged.' I also play with Folk-Pop covers band 'The Dimmocks.' In addition I toured the States playing bass for Florida band 'Funky Panda' in 2011.

I studied Jazz Performance on the sax and bass at The London College of Music and have experience in playing many different styles.

I am an artist who entwines existing works and objects with aspects of life in modern day society. Recently I have focused my interests towards hierarchical and fantastical subjects of monarchy and noble folk as well as the narrative. My work is derived globally from a cross – cultural mix of folklore, slang and imaginary alternative secret societies with its roots to date based alongside traditional portraiture. My work includes collage, digital manipulation, photography, sculpture and sound, exploring the possibilities of extracting stories of the imaginary, of mythology. My practice involves reconfiguring existing works through the 2 dimensional form and moving them forward into a 3 dimensional realm with an openness to expose myself to other ways of working. My practice tends to be multi – layered concerning the everyday in terms of hierarchy, taste and status derived from snippets of conversation. The mediums that I use are also a deliberate mix of high and low - brow. The mix of good quality and everyday cheap materials sit awkwardly or perhaps comfortably alongside the glitz of sequins and glitter. 

The titles of my works are reworked versions of overheard snippets of everyday conversations. I am constantly looking at new ideas of how, where and what to show regarding new work and I am interested particularly in the non - physical route as well as the physical. I currently see my work as becoming extensively global in terms of this way of working (i.e. the Internet) and I intend to travel extensively worldwide. My practice involves the constant use of the Internet in terms of making and exposing work. I am interested in the role of technology in art – making and exposure as well as the authorship in the practice of contemporary art. I am also interested in the need for the physicality of making and showing work.
