I Love the music I perform,heavily influenced by my dad,s Swing and Big Band record collection..I have been lucky enough to gain engagements as resident artist at prestigious venues and performances at major corporate events in the UK and beyond including an invitation to play at The legendary James Bonds 40th Birthday Party at Cannes Film Festival which have boosted my reputation and honed my performing skills.
