BIOGRAPHY

 

I only picked up drums for the first time when I joined Wolf Alice, so a little late by most peoples standards.

I still really don't classify myself as a drummer per say, but I do love giving everything a good whack. I've played drums on all the Wolf Alice records and we've been lucky enough to travel the world being able to play them live. Our first album, My Love Is Cool, saw us nominated and win Brit Awards, Grammys, NME, Ivor Novelo awards etc. We are currently touring our sophomore Visions Of A Life.
