Singer Pianist: Ref MSP1019

Young and highly original, a singer-pianist who mixes innovative arrangements of great standards with more obscure melodies. His style, although unique, is reminiscent of the great singer-pianists like Buddy Greco, Mel Torme, Nat King Cole and Harry Connick Jr. As a young jazz singer-pianist, the 26-year old is inevitably compared to Jamie Cullum, but says, "we're quite different really - he's sold a million records."


Currently he plays solo and also fronts a jazz trio, performing all over London. They have recently played at the BBC jazz club, The Generations Jazz Festival, Blackheath Concert Halls and The Stables, Wavendon. As a solo artist he has been resident at The Groucho Club, The Bluebird, The Dorchester and The Melia White House and has played in venues including The Royal Festival Hall, Pizza On The Park, Pizza Express, The Spice of Life, Café Royal and at Ronnie Scott's last summer with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. He had the great pleasure of singing and playing with John Dankworth's band for Radio 2's Live At The Stables series in April this year. He has played with many of the country's finest musicians, including Ian Shaw, Herbie Flowers, Jacqui Dankqworth, Winston Clifford, Andy Hamill, Gilad Atzmon, Alan Ganley and Mark Nightingale.
His talent is far-ranging as a pianist, singer and songwriter. The son of a TV personality and West End lyricist and an opera singer, he played piano by ear at the age of 5. He recently furthered his musical education at Trinity College of Music, where he studied with Nick Weldon for piano and Anton Browne for voice.

“We heard you perform for the first time at Octave last Friday and felt compelled to email to express our appreciation of your music and to say thank you - we had a memorable evening! Having been a jazz fan for years, I  was in awe of your talent. 
We look forward to seeing you all perform again in the future."

Amanda Reeves -30th June 2008"

"This is a message for you and all the band who performed at Gemma's wedding on Saturday.  I'm sorry I never had the opportunity to speak to you but we were thrilled with your music and you made the whole occasion very special."
Melanie Da Cunha 26th May 2008

“What can I say except a huge thankyou for Saturday evening.  I cannot believe everything went so well, and you were amazing - lots of good comments from our friends and I understand Will is going to contact you with regard to playing at his wedding next July 21st!
I think we finally finished at 2.30 a.m. but it was a great evening and I am so glad you could make it so special for Ian - he loved the singing bit!  Best wishes.”
