I started playing the guitar in 2008 on the classical guitar. In 2009, I cleared the Grade 5, Associate Board for the Royal School of London, Western Classical Guitar with distinction making me the top-ranked guitarist in the country for that year. I was part of an amazing band called Open Arms and we participated in many national level competitions bagging 5 awards and each of our members getting an honorable mention from the judges. With a desire to continue this passion, the other guitarist in the band, Asher Thomas and I co-founded the nVolve Music Academy to impart affordable music education to people from all walks of life. It's been a year since we started back in May, 2014 and we are 44 students strong. My main influences are Neil Zaza, Andy Mckee, Calum Graham, Adam Rafferty and absolutely love the music of the Beatles, Led Zepplin, Bon Jovi and Creed. Here are a few of my videos:
