I spent a year in Guildford at the Academy of Contemporary music studying electric guitar where I gained a diploma.
My biggest gig to date was at Twickenham Stoop for the rugby 7's final, I think there were around 9000 people there. But I'll be performing at lots of fake festivals and trib fests in 2015.
Also currently recording at home for an album project with a producer.
Good luck with your search, I hope to hear from you soon.
