More recently, I have branched out from my classical routes, composing, improvising, recording and performing music in various styles with musicians in Guildford and London, forming various musical projects. I am kept busy by performing gigs with my band, as well as session work and currently work with various music producers, with whom I have several tracks, which have been released internationally.
