About
Over 5 million streams of my music across platforms. I specialise in songwriting, lyrics, piano & vocal improvisation. As a professional songwriter & collaborator, I'm currently recording my third studio release in-studio. I went viral when Taylor Swift shared one of my tracks - since then, I've worked with major producers like Chris Bond (Ben Howard, Nick Mulvey) and James Kenosha (Birdy, Sony Music) and had my work published in Billboard & CLASH magazine, playlisted by Apple Music & Spotify Editorials, and licensed in Starbucks' cafes worldwide. I am passionate about sharing the knowledge I've gained from 15+ years in the industry.
Teaching Style
It's essential for me to understand what inspires you. So I generally suggest a free introductory chat, where we get to know each other, talk musical inspirations and sketch out a plan for your lessons. My passion is sharing knowledge on how to improvise melodies, write original music, and play contemporary piano & guitar. If you are starting out on social media, I can also offer guidance on how to establish yourself and develop your artist "identity".
