I am a freelance musician, vocalist, pianist, songwriter, community musician and facilitator, tutor, session musician, wedding and events performer as well as a budding producer/sound designer. I have 15+ years as a musician and 6+ years as a professional working musician.

I am currently studying in my Honours year for the BA Commercial Music course at the University of the West of Scotland in Ayr. I have also studied a HNC in Musical Theatre at New College Lanarkshire in Motherwell, a HNC-HND in Music at The Academy of Music and Sound in Glasgow, Introduction to Photography, also at New College Lanarkshire, online courses in Understanding Autism and an accredited Meditation Practitioner course.

I currently work as a solo performer for weddings, functions, pubs, clubs, bowling clubs and other events, as well as performing with my wedding band, Cassien, as a vocalist/pianist. I fronted my previous band, Artax, as the lead vocalist and lyricist, releasing EPs and albums, as well as music videos etc, and had supported bands such as Starbenders, Tiberius, She Burns Red, Emarosa, LeBrock and more, at venues including The Cathouse, The Garage, Audio, The Classic Grand etc as well as playing festivals. We also had one our tracks played on Planet Rock.

I worked on my own solo project for a while, under the name Ceiti. I released a few singles, with an accompanying video for my first single, Blue Roses, which also had air play on BBC Radio. My third single, Flower Child, was a collaborative project between myself and other Scottish musicians, as a charity single to raise money for SAMH and WWF UK. I was also awarded funding by Young Scot’s Nurturing Time to Shine Fund to record an EP, of which I will complete once I graduate. I have collaborated with other artists, musicians and producers on a variety of projects, including Ruadh, Divide and Rule, The Morning After Club and the Cover to Cover project (an initiative to bring more awareness to gender inequality in the industry), led by Fiona Liddell.

I worked as a freelance tutor with The Sound Lab, a Glasgow based music charity providing free music tuition and workshops to communities across Glasgow. I have also tutored and delivered workshops with organisations such as InTune Music Tuition, Rookie Rockstars, Nu Moves Dance Studios, CultureNL, Riverside Music College, MGR Music Tuition, Andrew Walker School of Music. I have also delivered songwriting workshops across Glasgow and Edinburgh for various organisations.

I have built up a steady bank of recording work, from external freelance work to Fiverr and SoundBetter clients, writing lyrics, writing/recording/producing vocals, piano melodies, instrumental parts and producing fuller tracks. I have also produced my own meditation tracks and sometimes, also record voiceovers for ads, animations etc. I also have a growing passion for production and sound design and am currently working on building my skills with foley and sound design.
