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.

She Plays Drums tour continues to Beirut!

She Plays Drums band, with the amazing Kate on sax and Marie-Anne on electric violin, tour continued with first Brussels, where we played in a Belgien TV studio! Love the adult size 'heelies' (those trainers with wheels in popular in 2009) as worn by the crew for getting around the enormous studios!

Loving the gig by Eurostar; on the way back our journey was made even more entertaining by the added company of The Specials, also on tour. Many a glass of wine was quaffed (mostly by Kate) and the obligatory semi drunken arguments about the universe/music industry/god & pastries kept us entertained well into late morning. Rock, as they say, and roll...

The tour continued to Beirut where we played the grand opening of Whisky Mist; the first branch of the popular West End club to open outside of London. We were joined on both nights by some incredible acrobats, dancers and contortionists for a surreal evening of Cirque Du Chic.

But nothing says surreal like sunbathing on the roof terrace in the middle of the city, overlooking the Mediterranean while a crane swings by overhead, rebuilding the bullet-ridden high-rise next door.


What a way to spend the day before the gig!

 Why eat fruit when you can smoke it?

Love the sign here - most poignant
Someone wants to come on tour too...s
