I started out in music at the age of six when I began piano lessons and then worked through the classical grades until gaining my grade 8 just before studying for my Degree in 1985. Along the way I picked up some grades on clarinet and also started classical and contemporary guitar lessons locally.

Leeds College of Music lasted until 1988 where I studied for a GDLM (Graduate Diploma in Light Music) and also where I started my singing training. I came back to Cornwall after my time at Leeds and started working in commercial and function band setups.

Finally at the end of 1989 I got my first opportunity to work in a band abroad and then followed a succession of successful gigs in many different places in the world, for example; Butlins and various Holiday Parks in the UK (1989 – 1991), Paphos in Cyprus (1993-1994), Ibiza, Spain (1996), UAE (1997), Nagoya, Japan (1998-2000) and Yokohama, Japan (2000). Since the last contract in Japan, I have been working as a singing and piano teacher at Truro and Penwith College.

I also have some private teaching in the local area and I am still working as a solo artist around various live venues in the county of Cornwall.
