During my university years I played for a further two bands: Dark to Red and Moonweed. These bands performed at many university events, including support slots for Jools Holland and Courtney Pine. Other highlights of this time in my career include a performance at the Brecon Jazz festival and headlining an Exeter music festival, broadcast live on "Xpression Fm".

I am currently studying a higher diploma in bass at The Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford where I also perform in a rock covers band.
