About / Biography

This is a truly international artist with tours of Australia(with a 20 pc orchestra), Canada, Europe and Asia, with starring Regional & West End Theatre credits. He began his singing career performing backing vocals for Barry Manilow (Albert Hall & Wembley Arena) and Sting at the Brit Awards.
He starred as Roy Orbison in ‘The Concert They Never Gave’ for E&B productions (Buddy! - West End) on several UK tours, including appearances in the West End Theatre.
He had a top 10 hit on the EMS Eurochart with a self-penned song in the style of Roy Orbison entitled “You’re not alone” which beat off stiff competition from the likes of Traviss Tritt and other top US stars.

What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I was invited to audition for the role of Roy by Bill Kenwright after I completed my performing arts course (later in life)
No one was more surprised than me when it turned out I would be at the top of my tree with it. I was introduced on stage with a 20pc orchestra in Australia as "The best in the world"... since then I've toured around the world.. theatre and TV ++


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

They all have something special.. small intimate ones are lovely, a theatre is probably my best setting and big stages are exhilarating for sure... I've played them all... loved them all..
