Welcome


I am an established professional jazz guitarist and composer based in Cape Town.

I am experienced performing solo, or as part of a duo, trio or quartet.
During my career so far I have worked with top jazz musicians Willie van Zyl, Basil Moses, Len Richey, Darryl Andrews, Errol Dyers, Kevin Gibson and others.

Myself and the musicians that I work with perform with passion, precision and experience to provide a memorable musical experience for any special occasion!

We perform upbeat jazz standards, as well as quiet sophisticated sounds for dining.
