Musician/ Artist

I am a keen artist and musician when not working and spend a lot of my spare time towards my creative goals. I have released four albums of solo material and have many paintings that I showcase online and sell. The skills I developed within the creative sphere have helped me immeasurably in the professional setting as it forces me to think laterally and be open to new ideas which is important when working with many different people at work I have found.
