Verified profile

I am a professional singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer based in Somerset who works as a session musician as well as performing at private events as a solo act. As a session guitarist I have played for Lulu, Take That, Judie Tzuke and Emeli Sande to name I few. I absolutely love touring and feel grateful to have played at some incredible venues such as the London 02, Manchester Arena and the Royal Albert Hall. I have received half a million streams as a solo artist in Spotify and I am constantly writing/recording as a solo artist/collaborator. My current project is called "Heron Island". As well as this I have been performing at weddings for the last ten years and thoroughly enjoy when the wedding season begins each year. It's a joy to play for so many happy couples and get to be a part of their happy day. I work regularly with Extreme Music, Ninja Tune and Universal as a composer writing songs for tv/film. When I'm not making music I like to restore old vehicles and take long distance motorcycle trips.

Chaz's Reviews

5 out of 5

Chaz performed at my birthday as an acoustic duo and both were absolutely fantastic. Answered all questions we had before, prompt arrival and set up, engaged with the audience, selected songs based on the mood, and had everyone in the party spirit from beginning to the end. Highly recommended.

Chaz was our NYE artist for our country pub - he was superb! great set list of songs, great vocals and brought in the New Year with style. Would highly recommend him for any event and we will 100% rebook him for our monthly Live Entertainment nights, the locals are still raving over him - thanks again Chaz.

I have been lucky enough to play with Chaz over the last two years and he never fails to impress me with his virtuosic guitar skills and velvety vocals.

I have performed with and watched Chaz many times and he never fails to blow me away. His voice is silly smooth and guitar skills insane!
