About Me

I began playing guitar in the early 1990s and quickly found myself performing with school bands, musical productions, and local events.

By my mid-teens, I was gigging across London and at working men’s clubs alongside my guitar tutor, gaining valuable live experience.

At 15, I discovered a love for classical guitar and went on to study under John Sharpe, completing my grades up to Grade 8 as well as my Associate's Diploma with LCME in Electric Guitar.

After one of my exams, the examiner, Professor John Howard, encouraged me to consider teaching, and that advice set me on a rewarding new path.

I’ve been sharing my passion for music through teaching ever since.
