I am a full-time musician who plays in some of the best venues in London and for private parties and weddings across the country. My repertoire covers songs from the 1960s to the present day, so everyone can feel like they’ve heard their favourite songs.

I am very proud to be a frequent musician at back-to-back Great British Pub of the Year Award for Live Entertainment venues: The Kings Arms, Bexleyheath and Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich. If I’m not singing crowd pleasers in busy bars, I often work with Busk In London for events at Arsenal FC, Wembley Stadium as well as Twickenham Stadium.

I can also offer a duo act to enhance the energy, performance and joy that music can bring to people. I am more than happy to take requests from the crowd to make people feel more involved and part of the performance.

In the lead-up to a wedding, I like to ask the couples what music they love and which songs are special to them. Before the date, I will send over a rep list of all the songs I play so the couples can choose which songs to play, and maybe which ones to avoid! I will always try and learn new material if I need to, helping make their special day perfect. Whether you are looking for drinks reception music for a relaxing but entertaining atmosphere or if you're looking for music to get the party started in the evening, I can guarantee you will be singing and dancing all evening.
