About Jonny

Drummer specialising in Brazilian jazz and UK folk.

Verified profile

I am an experienced musician specialising in jazz and global drum styles and choral singing. As the son of 2 choir directors, I started my life focusing on classic music, performing in choirs and playing oboe in orchestras, and graduating in music from the University of Cambridge. While I continue my interest in classical music through singing, I’ve since discovered a love of drumming, particularly in Brazilian jazz and UK folk styles, and play regular gigs with my projects in these genres. After working for 8 years in a music startup, I’ve now left regular employment in order to pursue a masters in drums at Guildhall School of Music.
