What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining live performance or teaching with hands-on service or technical work in collaborative, fast-paced environments that offer growth and creative responsibility.

I am a versatile musician and hospitality professional with a First Class honours Bachelor's degree in Popular Music from BIMM London. My training expanded my musical horizons across genres like reggae and afro-cuban music, and strengthened practical skills such as sight-reading and ensemble performance.

I have professional experience performing as a drummer aboard Celebrity Cruises and with party bands, where I engaged audiences, responded to requests, and assisted with guest check-in and coordination. I also provide private music teaching, transferring technical skills and musicality to students.

Complementing my music background, I completed vocational courses in mechanics (turning, milling, CAD/CAM, ISO and Fanuc) and a bartending program focused on speed, precision, customer care and cocktail production. These experiences demonstrate my hands-on technical aptitude and service orientation.

I am proactive, detail-focused, and comfortable in high-pressure environments, whether on stage, in the workshop, or behind a bar. I bring strong organizational skills, cross-cultural communication ability, and a commitment to continual learning.
