Early career

"I started off playing the piano, and although I liked it, it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. A friend of my family left a drum kit in our garage; I think any kid left alone with a drum kit over the summer will have a bash at some point! My cousin was learning drums at the time, and she taught me a basic beat. My dad had some friends who would come around and play together on the weekends. I’d sit and watch them, and soon I started joining in. It was great practice to play with older musicians who were patient with me! Soon after, I started playing with local bands, gigging as much as possible. I joined a 3-piece blues rock band which toured around Europe extensively." [1]
