Most people will tell you how quickly life seems to flash by, how you must appreciate the moment because none of us is getting any younger blah blah blah... well I don't know about you but 2010 has been so jam packed, I can hardly believe we are only in the third month - I'm knackered!
We finished filming for Disney last week and scary though it was, presenting to camera and having to teach the drums to a large, black, floating - and expensive - camera lens it was so much fun! And it was never long before I was back in my comfort zone, banging away on the drums. Considering it was a 'TV band' they put together, we really gelled playing together; jamming and rehearsing in an old skanky rehearsal room run by a mad (but lovely) old bat under the arches in London town.
I deliberately didn't watch any of the footage of myself so I can't say whether I totally embarrassed myself or not, but tune into Turkish, Polish or Greek kids TV at the end of March and you should have a good chuckle...
My passion is rhythm. To me, it doesn't matter if it happens acoustically or electronically, but beats have always got me going. Although I now play everything from pop to electronica, I started out with a classical background, at Trinity College of Music, before finding my way through jazz, latin, rock and pop to what I do today - a fusion of live and electronic music influenced by all the music I've discovered on my way. My passion is blurring the lines between pre recorded music and entirely spontaneous improvisation; between electronic and acoustic. Sometimes I DJ, sometimes I'm playing my drums, sometimes both together. To me, it doesn't matter - I just want to make people dance. Between these various disguises, I've been able to play with Rihanna, Ricky Martin, The Black Eyed Peas, Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts, Kelly Rowland, Wyclef Jean, Luke Slater, Amy Winehouse, Billy Bragg and Reverend & The Makers. I've been on stage in the West End and beyond with Tap Dogs, and as a DJ I've played at both London and Paris fashion weeks, the Tate Modern and Britain, Elle Style Awards, Casmopolitan magazine awards, Somerset House, Cartier, Mercedes, Landrover, HTC, Apple, The Four Seasons Hotels, Hard Rock Hotels, Christie's, Chinawhites, Bunglalow 8, Mahiki clubs and for the Royal Families of Britain, Jordan and India.
