I have always loved music and around the age of 13 i knew that all i wanted to do was to be a professional musican...5 years on that dream is still the same... I would love to play in a band or do sessions for top record labels new up and comming acts....one of my ultimate goals is to play huge gigs where i can share my passion with fans and other people and hopefully influence people as i have being influenced, to persevere, beleive in what you do and practice makes perfect..... My style is a fusion of every thing ,i beleive taking in all aspects of drumming,rock,pop,reggea,metal,gothic,hip hop,r'n'b,rap,punk,hardcore,emo,jaz,funk....thes styles are all related somehoe somewhere and i love them all...
