I am a professional musician who has worked on P&O cruise liners ‘Canberra’ and ‘Oriana’ and Holland America’s Masdam. I have visited thirty different countries playing with the band Benny and Black Velvet including Norway, Portugal, the Caribbean and Madiera.
From 1987 on I studied at Drumtech teaching studios and in 1992 received a diploma which was judged by some of the countries top musicians including Level 42’s Gary Husband and Neil Murray of Whitesnake and leading industry officials. In 1993 I taught at Downsend School in Leatherhead and gained an adult teaching diploma from the Sutton College of Learning for Adults. I also worked at the American Community School in Cobham as a deptuty drum teacher. Shortly after this I performed at the Notting Hill Carnival with Benny’s
band.
From 1998 on I played two Summer seasons backing well known artists such as Linda Nolan, the Beverley sisters, the Batchelors and American composer Gerard Kenny as well as a host of magicians and west end cabaret acts. From 2001 I have continually played functions gigs around greater London and in 2005 I started teaching the drums at Elmhurst school in Croydon where I still work entering
pupils for Trinity/Guildhall drum exams. In addition to this I visit ten pupils a week at home and last year I went on the Ultimate drum experience.com which was a five day course run by the Country’s top session players including American drumming sensation Steve Smith. I also met Vic Firth who has played over 2500 concerts with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I am currently playing for my own band Rewind and TNT.
Last year I passed a grade 5 Associated Board piano exam and have grade 8 drums with Trinity College.
