BACKLINE / GUITAR TECH

I've been a live backline tech since 2017 working for a number of artists including: Grace Jones, Razorlight, Kate Nash, Anna Calvi, Benjamin Clementine and The Waeve ( Graham Coxon)...

​

As a musician and Guitarist myself, I understand the importance of ensuring everything on and off stage allows the artist to perform at their best.   

Having worked on Denmark Street for 10 years, I have a wide knowledge of musical gear and in particular guitars and effects. I enjoy working closely with artists and sound engineers to bounce ideas and help put together the best rig to suit the artist style and 'tone', that also works best for the live or studio scenario...
