Anyone who knows me knows I'm a drum / cymbal addict, bigger is better. Using 14 drums & 15 cymbals as well as various percussion instruments FloydZilla is so much fun to play. Over the years I've played in many bands from Rock & Metal to Country and Blues as well as many years in the function party band Moojoose. You’ll also catch me drumming for Foxy Stoat Seeks Pig. Elysium is my pride and joy which I'm proud of and my great friends in the band with me.

I’ve performed with multiple bands previous to Elysium such as, Venom, Vengeance, Away and Beyond, Splat, Sacrosanct, Wild Stallions, Load Stone. My Favorite Bands include Dream Theater, YES, PorcupineTree, Marillion, and of course Pink Floyd.
Fronting bands has been a very big part of my life. From playing my first gig at the Little Theater back in the 70s to playing several gigs in Switzerland in the 90s, From playing Heavy Metal and Pub Rock to Prog Rock and also venturing into the world of musicals with “GADOC” I have enjoyed it all. I have been blessed with being able to work with many of the Island's best musicians. Fronting Elysium has certainly been one of the highlights of my musical career so far. Hopefully you will enjoy our interpretation of the worlds best Prog Rock band…PINK FLOYD

“If you ever need a bass player, I’m your man!” – said to Pauly after I saw Elysium at The Doghouse. That was 2012, they were amazing then and I hope that since joining, I’ve added something to the Elysium vibe! Music is in my blood, from collecting many records when I was young, trying to form a band with my school chums (I was offered lead vocals then drums initially!), to join residential groups in Guernsey. Even though I’ve been busy with City Limits for the last 22 years, Elysium and the Pink Floyd music we play are hugely special to me. I also perform with City Limits.

Favourite Genre: Bebop Jazz, Funk, Soul, Blues
I’ve been performing jazz since 2001 when I played in bands and attended jam sessions in the Bath and Bristol area of the UK. I’m passionate about jazz, particularly the music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, and other composers/musicians of that era. Also I love playing Funk music influenced by James Brown and his horn section of Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis. I regularly perform jazz with the band “Le Jazz Accord” and “Good vibrations”.

Joined Elysium: 2021
Favourite Genre: Pop / Musical Theater / Jazz / Country & Western
Known for my variety of genres in singing. I have however now also found a love for performing Pink Floyd. I have been performing since the age of 3 and recently graduated from The Academy of Contemporary Music Guildford, where I studied Musical Performance but specialized in Vocals. When asked to join Elysium I jumped at the chance, due to my Dad (Pauly) being a part of the band, it meant we could finally perform together which we both had always wanted to happen. I was lucky enough to perform with the band at their The Farmhouse and Fermain Tavern gigs in 2021.
