Bio:

Hi! I am a professional musician, composer and music producer, living in Vienna, Austria.

Music has been my passion for as long as I can remember; I began learning classical piano and music theory with a local teacher when I was five years old. I played my first concerts in front of the entire school at eight and around that time discovered that I had near perfect pitch, a skill I applied to learning to ‘play by ear’ through my formative teenage years.

After graduating with a BA (Hons) Music degree from CMPA Colchester (ARU Cambridge), I relocated to Grenada WI in the south Caribbean where helped establish a local music school by implementing a curriculum in line with the ABRSM examination standard. During my time there I also found a residency position as a bar pianist at Gary Rhodes’ exclusive five star restaurant, ‘the Callabash’ and the all inclusive resort ‘La Source’ (now Sandals Grenada) where I regularly entertained diners during evening service. It was during this time that I developed my lounge cocktail piano repertoire of jazz, showtunes, film music, light classical works and modern pop piano numbers.

In 2008 I relocated to Vienna, Austria where I quickly found gainful employment working with music outreach initiatives run by the Vienna

Konzerthaus and the charity Caritas. Thanks to my strong aural music skills combined with a formal, classical music education, I was able to integrate myself well into the various projects thereof; from piano accompaniment to choir singing (Superar) to arranging notation for concert programs for children and youngsters for reduced ensembles, to regularly performing in the Mozartsaal with the Wiener Singakademie, to project ‘Blauli’, a children’s sing along concept whereby whole schools are invited to sing with us in the Konzerthaus.

I am also available for hire as a bar pianist; I have an inexhaustible repertoire and am well versed with performing ambient, laid back Hintergrundsmusik for your special event, with offers to suit every budget and circumstance. Please get in touch should you wish to chat details.
