Having grown up surrounded by 1980s cassettes, Beach Boys CD’s and everything in between, it was only right I’d end up into music. I started learning the guitar aged 7 and since then, I’ve been hooked.
I’ll listen to anything from 1939-1989, that’s my go to. Being born after the millennium, I suppose that’s quite unusual. Putting my playing to good measure, I’ve been a gigging guitarist in bands and duos for 5 years. Moreover, I have been teaching guitar since 2021 to a variety of students. With students from age 7-70, I cover many styles and abilities.
When I’m not writing for Gearnews, teaching or gigging, I’ll be writing for my own outlet, Driving Around as a motoring journalist. Being a motoring journalist and photographer allows me to review new cars, go on some pretty cool adventures and blag plenty of free days out.
