He was classically trained but is now exploring a dynamic range of musical styles, from Indian Classical to Hip Hop, giving him a real ability to be creative with the violin. Whilst still at the beginning of his musical career, he is gaining a wealth of experience. This includes selection as a UK finalist for the BOSS World Looping Championships, writing and recording for a number of producers, artists and composers (including recently for a BBC documentary), and the recent filming for an appearance on BBC’s ‘The One Show’.
