I have been playing drums since I was 11 years old. I have been in 2 major bands in this time. My first band was called ''Tonight We're Electric''. I helped found the band in 2010 and in the 2 years I was involved in the band, we were placed on headline shows for the BBC and associates, played shows with high end bands in our genre, offered tours with bands, sold out shows (300+ venues) regularly, made 2 official music videos with the videographers for You Me At Six and Enter Shikari, one of which is now up to 20,000 views and the song featured in a BBC promotional video. After this band I was asked to join another band. Crown Jewel Defense are an American rock band based in California. In November 2011 we toured the UK and Ireland opening for rock ledgends The Darkness. I gained a lot of knowledge about being on the road and previous to the tour itself, learned a lot about practising on a daily basis and the commitment needed for professional bands.
