As well as playing classical guitar I have also played various other styles of music with different bands over the years. I started out playing rock music in a high school band. At university I played in a popular band that had some top 20 success in South Africa. We recorded and released our own CD and it took off with the national radio stations.

I learned some jazz playing in jazz bands in Cape Town, South Africa, a city that is well known for its jazz music. The acclaimed annual Cape Town jazz festival is attended by jazz lovers from around the world.

I experimented with playing other styles of music and then settled into playing a lot of solo classical and jazz guitar. I travelled to Japan for three and a half years where I did a lot of performing on my own. Whilst there I met my Canadian spouse and moved to London, Ontario, Canada. In Canada I have done numerous performances including playing on the 'A' Channel morning show and performing for the president of the University of Western Ontario.

As well as performing as often as possible I have also been a guitar and music teacher for many years. In South Africa I was a high school music teacher and have been a guitar teacher in Japan and now currently in Canada. As far as teaching the guitar goes I teach all styles on the electric and the acoustic guitar.
