About / Biography

My repertoire and music tastes are diverse, ranging from Stevie Wonder and The Beatles to jazz standards and classical pieces. I'm always open to requests and willing to learn new songs if I don't already know them.

I started my professional music career at the age of 20, working on cruise ships. Later, I moved to London, where I quickly found opportunities to perform with some of the top wedding bands and artists. Among the notable artists I've collaborated with are Gareth Gates, Joe McElderry, Femi Temowo, and Andrew Bourne.

Throughout my career, I've worked on numerous cruise ships, totaling 11 contracts across Carnival, P&O, and Viking cruise lines. During my time on these ships, I had the opportunity many times to work as a cocktail pianist, providing music for the captain's welcome on board events and playing in the cocktail bars.

As a composer, my music has been featured in thousands of projects and has reached millions of listeners through various media platforms and streaming services. I release solo piano music under my own name and have been featured in Spotify editorial playlists such as 'Intense Studying' and 'Feel-Good Piano,' accumulating over 3 million streams combined across platforms.
