He studied for over ten years with Rodney Friend MBE and, from 2022 to 2024, with Augustin Hadelich, at the Yale School of Music. Winner of a Hattori Foundation Award, Harriet Cohen International Music Award, John Fussell Award for Young Musicians, Drake Calleja Trust award, and Countess of Munster Musical Trust award, he has enjoyed master-classes with Ida Haendel, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Vadim Repin, Menahem Pressler, Pinchas Zukerman, James Ehnes, Leonidas Kavakos, and, most recently, Ida Kavafian at the Lincoln Center.
