Biography

I was born in Hastings in 1977, but was raised in Watford. I moved to south London a few years ago with my life partner, Chris, and we're now happily settled down in Forest Hill, in our own little place just around the corner from the world-famous Horniman Museum. 

I conduct the Lambeth Wind Orchestra and can be found guest-playing most wind and brass instruments, including alto/bass clarinet, tenor/baritone sax and trombone/euphonium. I'm also the secretary of Forum London Composers Group.  

My chamber orchestra piece Green Sky won the Making Music Award at the British Composer Awards 2008.
