After working as a session and jingle singer, I began my voicing career. I started at Signal Radio in Stoke on Trent under the watchful eye of Les Woolham. I then moved to the Fens and continued learning the ropes under David Allen at Hereward and Carl Goss at JMS Norwich.


I’m one of the few FVO’s who used to race up and down the country to voice 20+ commercials in a session. ISDN brought me the opportunity to take things a little easier and voice stuff in my PJ’s occasionally!


I work every day from my purpose-built studio.

Apart from adverts and corporate narrations, I make hundreds of on-hold messages for all over the world.
