The Hara

I started drumming at the age of 9 and quickly achieved Grade 8 by the time I was 12! Among starting working with a top section brass band, towards the end of my school years (14/15) I was competing in YDOTY, for 2 years running being top 40. At age 16 I had my first professional tour supporting Alexander ONeal on the 30 Years of Soul tour, after which I went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree in Professional Musicianship by the age of 19.

In 2017 I joined alternate rock band The Hara and have since achieved multiple No.1 iTunes singles as well as a No.1 EP, Play Dead. As well as playing several sell-out UK tours and performing at many of the major UK festivals, we are currently in the process of writing and recording our debut album and prepping for tours throughout Europe and the U.S. next year!

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I grew up listening to many different styles of drummers from Aaron Spears and Max Roach, giving me a huge amount of love and respect for all styles and techniques, which always provides inspiration.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Pressure is a privilege! Playing live is something not many people get to experience if it’s 10 or 10,000! Nerves are your best friend. Also… space is a note, and can be the most effective thing you (don’t) play.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I love all Zildjian cymbals I’ve played but my favourite 3 lines are Constantinoples, Special Dry and Sweets.
