During his time in America he performed with some of the major jazz heavyweights such as Herbie Hancock, John Scofield, Ron Carter and Dave Holland. Since relocating to the UK in 2000 he was Jamie Cullum's drummer for 8 years, and currently plays with all the top UK jazz artists, such as Jacqui Dankworth, Guy Barker & Ray Gelato. He teaches at BIMM London and Leeds College of Music.
