20 years experience playing and recording drums for well known artists.
I am a UK-based professional drummer with years of live and studio experience and have collaborated and recorded with Gus G (Ozzy Osbourne & Firewind), Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) Pendragon, The 69 Eyes, Steven Rothery (Marillion), Raymond Watts PIG/KMFDM, Ben Christo (The Sisters of Mercy) Esprit D’Air, Chris Dale (Bruce Dickinson) and many more. I have been featured in DRUM Magazine in the UK, Drum Club Magazine in Italy and Batterie Magazine in France.
With Pendragon, I've recorded 4 albums, a live DVD, a live album, and played and headlined in major festivals in Europe and the U.S. I also recorded the albums “Men Who Climb Mountains, “The World” and later on, “Love Over Fear”, which became Amazon’s Best Selling Album for a week, spent 3 months in the Top 10 Official Progressive Charts and was number 4 in the Best Album Category in the 2020 Prog Reader’s Poll.
In 2021, I've worked with world-renowned guitar virtuoso, Gus G, who is best known as the guitarist of Ozzy Osbourne. We recorded the album “Quantum Leap” which reached #7 in the Official Album Charts in Greece, #4 on iTunes Charts in the US and #26 in the US Hard Music Charts. It also landed the #2 spot in the Best Guitar Albums of 2021 by Guitar World.
