I first picked up the sticks at the age of 14, after being heavily influenced by Fleetwood Mac from an early age. I cut my teeth playing in local bands around my hometown for a few years, before eventually moving to London to study at a music school at age 19. I played many gigs with many different bands around the capital for 2 years before being picked up as the drummer for indie star Declan McKenna. Since playing for Declan I have embarked on numerous world tours and played on some of the biggest stages across the globe.
