After leaving school I went on to attend a performing arts course at college where i studied drama, dance, live performance and music theory. Engaging with other musicians on the course led to many musical projects; one project in particular, involved producing our own album and supporting other bands gigging at universities all over the UK. After college, I spent the next few years honing my skills, developing my technique and learning my trade. This eventually led me to Guildford to study a Contemporary Music course at the ACM (Academy of Contemporary Music), where I had the opportunity to fine tune my skills. During this time, I was auditioning for up and coming bands and record companies, including Sony and Virgin. I was also invited for recording sessions with people like Don Arden (Small Faces, Black Sabbath, ELO).
