Biography

Over the years I have gained an extensive amount of live and studio experience as a professional drummer playing around the world with many different bands and artists. Most notably the LA-based rap/metal band ‘Crazy Town’ (#1 single Butterfly) which I was the full-time drummer for during 2017. I did several tours with them around the world in places all over Europe, the USA, India and more. I got the opportunity to play some incredible shows and connect with many musicians around the globe.

Other bands that I’ve played for include the Manchester-based metal band ‘Empires Fade’ who I joined in 2014 after filling in as their session drummer on a European tour. I recorded the drums for their debut album ‘The Edge Of Existence’ which ranked #4 in the iTunes metal charts shortly after its release. We toured all over the UK and EU many times after this establishing a decent fanbase. After various member changes, the band decided to take a break whilst writing a second album.

More recently I have been a member of the pop-rock band ‘Fast Car To Florence’ since the formation of the band in late 2017. Having released several singles and EPs since then, we gained a substantial online following which we plan to continue building and coincide with a busy touring schedule.

I have been lucky enough to connect with some of the best drum companies in the business through my live & online presence. This includes endorsements with Sabian Cymbals, North Custom Drums, Remo Drum Heads & 64audio.

My studio experience includes sessions at world-renowned studios in London such as ‘Eastcote Studios’ and several others in Italy, Cyprus and around the UK. I’ve played on countless records of many different styles over the years, which has helped me gain valuable knowledge in what works best for each genre, and how to play for the song. My forte is in rock, pop and metal drumming. However I am very confident playing all genres of music!

I now run a remote recording studio in England. Here I record custom live drum tracks for bands, artists and producers all over the world. My clients so far have been extremely diverse from producers & artists at EMI to tech-metal bands in the middle east. My goal is to continue providing high-quality studio drum tracks to songwriters and artists worldwide.

After many years of recording remote drum tracks at my studio, I believe I can offer a truly unique online service to those who don’t necessarily have the budget to hire a high-end studio, engineer and session drummer but still want real live drum tracks played by a real session drummer.
