Biography
I have been a drummer since the age of 9, playing professionally from the age of 14. Through my teens and early twenties, whilst studying music at The University of Glasgow, I began playing in gigging and touring bands and began my session playing career. Upon graduating, I moved to Boston, USA where I studied at the Berklee College of Music, continuing to tour, record and learn. Upon my return to Scotland, I set up my own remote recording studio and began recording drums for clients all over the world. Eventually, I was happened upon by Alan Nimmo of King King, who invited me for an audition. As well as playing with King King since early 2019, I have played drums, live or in studio with Paul Gilbert, I Built the Sky, Slice the Cake, Kirsty Keatch, Aviations and many more!
