Initially self taught, 21 year old Carl has evolved into one of the country's most exciting and all rounded musicians.

He left St Bernard's Grammar School with a desire to get into music. He started with the metal genre and then broadened his listening and passion to include all music and through developing his playing and style has become the versatile player he is today

Carl now studies at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in Kilburn,
where he is studying for a degree in popular music performance and finds himself
regularly playing for different artists across the board.
