I've recently completed a Masters in Education at Cambridge University researching Noise Solution's impact on well-being. I’ve also 20 years experience working with people in challenging circumstances, within local authority teams such as Youth offending and Connexions. As a multi-instrumentalist professional musician with a specialism in music technology I’ve been lucky to have had multiple record deals, toured the globe, with musical projects receiving Youtube hits in the multiple millions.

After 15 years as a professional musician in London, several record deals and a few forays into the charts, I have settled back into Suffolk with my family. I find teaching with Noise Solution is creative, challenging and fun. I feel that we bring out the best in the students- a part that perhaps not everyone has seen yet.

I have been a drummer for 35 years, and started playing in bands and putting on gigs at the age of 11. I've never really stopped doing it, so you could say I have a bit of experience! I have also worked 20+ years as a mental health support worker, and worked with people with learning difficulties. I also teach the drums. I am fairly new to Noise Solution (1 year) but it is the perfects job for me as it mixes all my skills into one melting pot- which I can then use to help other people realise their full potential! It's an honour to be able to pass on the skills that I was taught to a new generation.

I have been tutoring for Noise Solution for four years, with a background and qualifications in music technology, I play guitar and bass and have been producing and releasing electronic music since I was a teenager as well as playing in bands. I have played and taught everything from hip hop to folk, jazz to house music and love music in all sorts of genres.

I have a keen interest in song writing and helping people find ways to express themselves musically, particularly if they do not come from a traditional musical background. Working in the local community as a musician brings together the two things that I love, playing music and helping people do just the same.
