'I love the range of sounds the saxophone can produce, as if I can just project my mood through it. The freedom improvisation provides allows the opportunity for unlimited expression.

Taking inspiration from experiences, imagination and emotions then transforming them into music is both thrilling and nourishing. I am still very much figuring out how my emotions ignite music but they truly are the driving force as to why I play. They are my first port of call and initial reaction to everything. I find I need to connect with the musical content, it needs to feel genuine & authentic for me to deliver meaningful improvisation and contributions. I don't know any other way to work. When listening back to recordings I am often surprised to hear myself sounding like a saxophone! I literally thought I was delivering words, thoughts and how I was feeling about it all - not toots and honks! I enjoy telling stories and having hidden messages and descriptions behind my sounds.

What I am sure of, is I play the saxophone to express emotions that I cannot speak. I am no wordsmith. And I play to be heard by you in the continuing hope that you will whole-heartedly feel something too'.
