Profile
I am a performer, songwriter and audio engineer with a keen interest in the production and staging aspects of live and recorded performance. I take great satisfaction from peoples enjoyment of live entertainment, whether as a performer or as a member of venue or production staff. It has always been my aim for people to leave a performance with a smile on their faces. I enjoy the urgency and excitement of making sure the show goes on and am able to keep a clear head under the pressure which arises when things do go wrong in a live performance. Last year I completed a Diploma of Music Industry (Audio Technology) under Ian Taylor at Southbank Institute of Technology.
