Professional bassist and educator with 25+ years’ experience across pop, soul, funk, jazz, studio, and live performance
My journey as a bassist has taken me from the smallest jam sessions to major stages, studios, and musical projects across pop, soul, funk, jazz, electronic music, and live performance. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work across a wide range of professional settings, building the kind of real-world musicianship that comes from having to listen quickly, lock in deeply, and make the band sound better.
Selected professional credits include Zero 7, Jacob Collier, Stormzy, Paloma Faith, Jessie Ware, Donny McCaslin, Jamie Cullum, Lalah Hathaway, Donna Summer, Incognito, Róisín Murphy, Mika, Adam Lambert, Floating Points, Duffy, Ronnie Scott’s All Stars, Natalie Williams, Bugz in the Attic, John Newman, Richard Spaven, Wayne Krantz, Rebecca Ferguson, Clare Maguire, Nik Kershaw, Matthew Herbert, and Hamish Stuart.
