was a pupil at Ysgol Gymraeg Castell-nedd and Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera, South Wales, and continued his education as an organ scholar at Robinson College, Cambridge, where he graduated with first-class honours in music in 2001.

In 2004, he was a member of the European Union Baroque Orchestra, the members of which formed Harmony of Nations and continue to play together under this name; they released their first CD with Alfredo Bernardini in 2008. Since 2008 he has been invited back to EUBO as leader, under the direction of Enrico Onofri and Lars Ulrik Mortensen.

He is a member of the English Concert and the Irish Baroque Orchestra, and also plays with the Sixteen, Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, London Handel Orchestra, Retrospect Ensemble, and the Classical Opera Company. As leader he works regularly with the Orquestra Barroca Casa da Música, Porto, Portugal, Harmony of Nations, and English Touring Opera's baroque orchestra, and as guest-leader with EUBO, St James's Baroque, Barokkanerne Oslo, Collegium Musicum Telemann, Osaka, Japan, and Haydn Sinfonietta Wien.
