Whilst at Oxford he played regularly as a classical pianist (including solo recitals, chamber music and as a vocal accompanist) whilst also playing in and then directing the Oxford University Jazz Orchestra. He completed his Masters in Jazz piano at Trinity College of Music in 2009, and now leads his own group 'Treehouse' featuring Calum Gourlay and Lewis Wright, who have performed across London and at festivals including the 2010 London Jazz Festival, and the 2011 Oxford Jazz and Canterbury Festivals.
