Violin has always been a soulful pull, it's all I ever knew, growing up: first violin came at two and lessons started at four, I wasn’t much for theory. Being born into a family of violin players, there was a lot of pressure, but I loved violin as soon as I first set eyes/ears. I also love playing guitar so from then on into my teens I played violin, guitar, and bass, made some friends and formed bands, played and gigged the Hare & Hounds at 13, and had the best fun in Birmingham with my mates! Very different from concert stage I was being prepped for, my style of playing is different... Spent a great time learning studio engineering/production at fortress5, then started making tunes and went on the road to play, meet, and meld musically with as many great artists as I could. This comes across in my style - a mixture of classical, jazz-fusion and folk, inspired from the music I grew up with and everyone who’s influenced me while playing music with people of all cultures & walks...
