As well as being a classically trained pianist and singer, Ian is also a composer and arranger, writing and arranging for many of the artists he produces.

Ian has also become well known for his live work as Musical Director for artists such as Hayley Westenra and Aled Jones. He spent four years travelling the world with Hayley. They played everywhere from the Sydney Opera House to the famous Joe’s pub in NYC.

Ian’s most recent work has been to produce the debut album from the incredibly talented Lucy the pianist. The album was released on the 8th November 2024.

BAFTA nominated Lucy stole the nation’s hearts when she won Channel 4’s The Piano at just 13 years old, having performed on a keyboard at Leeds Train Station. Lucy stopped people in their tracks and left bystanders in tears as she played her beautiful rendition of Chopin‘s Nocturne in B-flat Minor.

You can watch the music video for Lucy’s first single, “I’m Walking With You,” here.

Over the years Ian has worked as a recording engineer on numerous productions for CD release, TV and radio, so is very much hands on in the studio at both the recording and mixing stage.
