I was born in Swansea, south Wales, and I still live in there. I started learning the piano at the age of four, the oboe at 12 and the cor anglais, marimba and recorder at the age of 14. I have been involved with many orchestras and windbands in south Wales.
Away from music I have an interest in mathematics and chess, I am former Welsh junior chess champion and current rapidly champion for U18.
