Tell us your name and what you’re up to at the moment (school, college, work etc)

How did you get into music? When did you start writing music?
I first started music, as a whole, when my dad was watching a tv advert with a small jingle on the advert, and I started trying to play it when hearing it on our piano (that no one had ever played before). I was instantly hooked and have never stopped since.
How would you describe the music you like to write/perform?
My music is a mixture between folk, pop and any style really, I try to write songs that are piano and voice but I love music technology and creating new sounds here and there. Most importantly, I would say that when I write music, ideas don’t always come straight away so keep at it!!!
Where can we listen to your music?
YouTube, SoundCloud and Facebook
Have you any advice for aspiring musicians?
Yes! Stick at your instrument/music and keep going, I remember my friend stopped playing and he still regrets it to this day, but I’m glad that I carried on. I started doing classical grades when I was 7 but it has really helped me improved my confidence, and ability.
