I am a professional musician based in London and Hertfordshire, specialising in jazz performance.

Originally from Hertfordshire on the North London border, I began learning the saxophone and piano from a young age. I spent my teenage years performing in a range of different ensembles and had wonderful opportunities to perform regularly, with some highlights being at Wembley Stadium and the World Music Contest in Belgium and Germany.

I have a degree (BMus) in music from Canterbury Christ Church University, and a masters (MMus) in Jazz Performance at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. I have been fortunate enough to study with top UK jazz musicians Julien Siegel, Tom Challenger, Hans Köller, Jean Toussaint, Byron Wallen, Martin Speake and US musicians Braxton Cook and Melissa Aldana.

Since graduating I have built a successful portfolio career in the performing arts. I perform regularly each week in a range of settings such as jazz clubs, theatres, music venues and at private events. I have toured and performed internationally.

I co-run a business with my brother called 'The Rocca Brothers'. We provide highly professional bespoke jazz entertainment at both public and private events. Recent clients have been Netflix, The Wall Street Journal and the Shakespeares Globe to name a few.

With this band, we have toured Morocco, performed all over the UK, and run regular public events. We currently host a residency in Whitechapel, which features a highly popular jazz jam session, which is well attended by some of London's top jazz musicians.

Alongside performing, I also work as an instrumental music teacher, teaching saxophone, clarinet and piano. I currently teach privately from a home studio in Potters Bar both in person & online.

Over the past two years, I have worked as an assistant tutor at the International Jazz Summer School, an adult education residential jazz school which attracts students from a multitude of countries. This allowed me to work alongside top UK jazz musicians and educators Simon Purcell, Liane Carroll, Julian Siegel, James Maddren, Will Glaser, Loz Garrett and Sophie Bancroft.

I have previously worked for Enfield Music Service, for a number of years in which I taught at many schools in the borough. I taught one to one lessons, group lessons, lead whole class projects and assisted in running wind orchestra’s and other large ensembles. I have also organised and run a number of school concerts throughout the year at the different schools for parents. I gained a lot of teaching experience through this job, and enjoyed learning on their termly teacher training days.
