I have been playing the piano for more than 14 years. Having completed my classical examinations (grades 1-8) in 2008, I then turned to jazz and pop piano, and have been playing session keyboards, restaurant piano, lounge gigs, rock/pop gigs, folk/jazz fusion bands, big bands, and pit band jobs ever since.

My experience from 2008-2012 has been extensive and extremely varied, allowing me to reach a high level of understanding in solo and ensemble playing. I have also built a large repertoire that consists of material from almost every possible genre: swing and Rat Pack standards, latin jazz, blues, retro pop/rock, current chart music, musical theatre numbers, and contemporary jazz. However, many of the songs in my repertoire are my own arrangements; eg a lounge/scat version of House of the Rising Sun, and a blues re-working of the classical opera standard "Caruso" by Lucio Dalla.
