As a musician I like to keep busy and play with as many acts as possible. This ranges from cover gigs, original music and performances in jazz, funk, pop, blues and rock settings. Playing with so many different bands and artists keeps me on my toes as a musician but it is what I love about music and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Here are some of the artists and groups I have played with include: The Taylors, Mersey Wylie, Andrew Neve, The Manouchetones, Choir With No Name and The Misty Blue Trio.
The Taylors are a dynamic duo hailing from the Northwest, captivate audiences with their eclectic blend of Neo Soul, Jazz, Funk, and R’n’B. With a strong presence at esteemed venues like ‘Gaucho’ and ‘Oh Me Oh My’ in Liverpool, The Taylors are a sought-after choice for weddings, birthdays, and corporate events alike.

Mersey Wylie has been gaining recognition for her unique brand of soul that encapsulates melodic songwriting, intricate arrangements and candid lyrics.
She has performed at notable festivals and venues across Liverpool with her eight piece band and in more intimate settings, and has been featured nationally on BBC 6 Music and in Mojo Magazine.
In 2018 she released her debut EP, The Skin I Live In, a collection of songs that chronicle her journey with her mental health.
Throughout my career I've done a range of different types of session work. This has included:
Creating backing tracks for guitar tuitional sites.
Adding guitar parts to original material.
Writing music for product demos.
