ABOUT

I am a jazz pianist and composer from England living in Montreal. I have played with some of the best musicians on the UK jazz scene, and am looking to explore some creative projects in Montreal.

Because of my jazz background, I am familiar with funk, latin, hip-hop and blues. I also enjoy playing reggae and dub.

In composition my specialty is big band writing but I have written many solo piano and small ensemble compositions. I am now looking to collaborate with filmmakers/directors/artists/lyricists for film and media projects.
