I am a Leeds based original fingerstyle/percussive musician. You can hear strong influences in my music from artists such as Newton Faulkner, Jon Gomm and Andy McKee, many more have played part in helping me develop my own style of playing.

I grew up listening to old vinyl of my dads, everything from The Beatles, Shakey Stevens, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Kate Bush, Prince , Tina Turner. Later on i fell into listening to Brit pop which was always blasting from my older brothers room. As time moved on i visited , folk music when i started to learn classical guitar them moved on to rock, punk, emo, ska and , metal and everything inbetween before visiting and settling with my folk roots. 

I have a debut ep 'the things that divide us, raw and unplugged' due mid 2023 and album under the same name 'The Things That Divide us' which has been years in the making, both being recorded at Clumsy Alien studios in Leeds with producer Phil Graham.
