About Me

Trumpet

I am a dynamic and explosive trumpet player with a strong presence in horn sections and jazz ensembles. With over a decade of experience as a lead trumpeter for the Nu Civilisation Orchestra and Jazz Jamaica All Stars, I have performed at prestigious events like the BBC Proms and alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra. My career has seen me share the stage with icons such as Chaka Khan, Beverley Knight, Alfie Boe, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Laura Mvula.

Beyond jazz, I’ve worked with DJ collective High on Heels, Brass Monkeys, and top function bands across the UK. For the past eight years, I have toured the UK and Europe with New Purple Celebration, a leading Prince tribute band, where I transcribe and arrange live Prince performances for our three-piece horn section.

Whether leading a brass section or delivering high-energy solos, I bring passion, precision, and an undeniable stage presence to every performance.

Recording

I offer remote and in-studio trumpet recording, bringing versatility and character to your music. Whether you need funky horn lines to drive a groove, mellow trumpet solos to add warmth, or a touch of vintage flair for that classic feel, I can create parts that elevate your track with style and precision.

Here’s a selection of tracks I’ve played on that I’d be happy to share with you.

Vocals

I am a versatile vocalist with a strong ear for intricate harmonies, tight articulation, and bold, expressive riffs. For the past five years, I have been a backing and lead vocalist with New Purple Celebration, delivering high-energy performances with a powerful stage presence. I also sing backing vocals for the Blue Lion Band, bringing dynamic energy and precision to live shows.

Beyond band work, I perform as a solo vocalist for weddings and ceremonies, offering heartfelt and polished performances tailored to each event. Whether blending seamlessly in a vocal section or stepping forward with a commanding lead, I bring professionalism, musicality, and an electrifying presence to every performance.
