I was born in 1967 and have been playing piano since the age of six. By the age of 15 I achieved an Associate Diploma at the London College of Music as well as all Associated Board exams to grade 8.
At age 11 I played with a 17 piece 'Glenn Miller' style dance band eventually becoming band leader and MC.
In 1994 I took a position on Crystal Cruises, a 5* luxury cruise line as cocktail pianist for 6 years.
Recently I have been writing shows to present on cruise lines for piano and 7 piece orchestra of which all arrangements have been orchestrated by myself. I recently performed this material at my own concert performing in the style of Liberace, Carmen Cavallero and Russ Conway.
I have accompanied many singing artists over the years and more recently have accompanied for singers at their ABRSM exams.
I am a strong sight reader and have the ability to improvise over chord charts if necessary.
I can cover many genres of music and have played with rock bands as well as playing classical music.
I am based in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk but will travel for the appropriate fee.
