I am an experienced Musical Director who loves to get the best out of people I work with.
I've MD'd numerous theatrical productions, workshops, cabarets and education projects in London and across the UK, including conducting in the Festival Hall and playing in West End pits.
I play piano, keyboards, accordion and organ, and also transcribe, arrange and orchestrate.
I love composing, and I'm a member of the Book Music & Lyrics Advanced Composers' Workshop and Mercury Musical Developments.
In December 2018, I was delighted to win the Iris Theatre Xmas Factor Prize with Mike Stocks for our song "Heroes of Christmas, Celebrated Panto Dames" .
I'm represented by Access Artiste Management.
Feel free to get in touch - I'm always on the lookout for new, exciting work!
