A graduate of Leeds and North Texas Universities, he won “Northern Young Jazz Musician of the Year” in 1995 and went on to perform in the West End, with the Syd Lawrence Orchestra, and alongside the Halle and BBC Big Bands. Career highlights include appearances on The Crown and Heartbeat, soloing with the Four Tops, and performing for Judi Dench and Geri Halliwell.
