Versatile

The trombonist is regarded as one of the most exciting and versatile young musicians to have emerged from East London in recent years, having studied on a postgraduate course at the Royal Academy of Music with scholarship under Mark Templeton, Gordon Campbell, Ian Bousfield, Matthew Gee and Dudley Bright.

He previously graduated with distinction from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance on the Master of Music (MMus) course under Graham Spencer Lee.
