I am a professional cellist with a First Class BA Hons music degree, a PG Dip RAM and LRAM and I enjoy a varied career balancing performing and teaching. I have been a member of Jeff Lynne's ELO since 2016 and have appeared with the band at the Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Gardens, Glastonbury and at Wembley Stadium for the album 'Wembley or Bust.' I have recorded at Abbey Road for Sam Smith's title track for the James Bond film 'Spectre' as well as for various films including Dunkirk, Mission Impossible Fall Out and Wonder Woman 1984. I've worked with numerous commercial artists and have appeared on albums with Paul Weller, Bjork and Tom Walker as well as playing live with The Specials, Brian Wilson, Jamie Cullum and Ellie Goulding with my string quartet – Q Strings. I've been in love with the theatre since I was a child and have been fortunate enough to perform for The National Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre of Scotland, Sadlers Wells and for various London West End Shows.

In the classical world I have performed and recorded with Northern Sinfonia, given solo recitals for Cunard cruise line and chamber music concerts with my string quartet, Stanford Quartet worldwide as well as a performance for HM The Queen and working with composer Harrison Birtwhistle.

I also arrange and compose music for artists including Ocean Colour Scene, Band of Skulls and Gilbert O'Sullivan as well as being co-founder of the one stop music production company Brik Hit House whom most recently have had music on BBC's Panorama.

I have been teaching cello, piano, music theory and chamber music for nearly 20 years and have taught all ages and levels. I've run workshops for the London String Quartet Foundation as well as independently for schools throughout the UK.
