I am a self-taught composer and multi instrumentalist whose uses music to overcome the challenges of life on the autistic spectrum.
I started playing the piano when I was six. I’ve had a long journey as a musician on the autism spectrum to get to where I am now. My shows inspire people to be a lot more open with their creativity and encourage them to get out there and show people what they can do, and hopefully it also gives them a new outlook on being neurodiverse and on the autism spectrum.
I had my first Fringe show, Full Spectrum, in August 2022, where I performed a variety of genres of original compositions interspersed with reflections on my life as a neurodiverse musician. I also used my show to inspire other neurodiverse people to be a lot more open with their creativity and encourage them to get out there and show people what they can do, and hopefully it gave the audience a new outlook on being neurodiverse and on the autism spectrum.
My Fringe show was also the only music show at the Fringe with a British Sign Language interpreter.
