He has appeared on the BBC and other major UK TV channels, performed in thousands of professional gigs and graced the stages of many major theatres and concert venues including London’s West End and public festivals, with audiences of around 70,000.
Having spent a good number of years as a lead vocalist in a variety of original “Pop” bands and having the usual near misses with a number of major labels, he took the very common step of moving his vocal skills into the predictable area of covers bands. He spent an enjoyable number of years earning an income this way, but it was during this time he noticed problems with his voice and sought help with finding solutions – so beginning a fascination with vocal tuition.

Following thorough vocal training, he successfully overcame voice-related challenges. Encouraged by his vocal coach, he decided to establish his own teaching enterprise. The venture quickly gained momentum, and soon he became one of the most sought-after private vocal coaches in Southern England. The rapid growth necessitated the recruitment and training of additional instructors, leading Gareth to seek out a comprehensive training program for vocal coaches.

He discovered the methods of the renowned vocal coach Seth Riggs, known for training over 120 Grammy winners like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Kelly Clarkson. Other notable clients include Josh Groban, Luther Vandross, and Michael Bolton.

After learning this method from top Vocal Coaches worldwide, Gareth developed a deep appreciation for the extensive expertise and dedication needed to assist a diverse range of vocalists, not just those with voices like his own. He also recognized the significance of mastering the art of TEACHING singing, not just singing itself. Following years of teaching this method, Gareth decided to enhance his education by collaborating with a global community of educators who continuously enhance their foundational knowledge of vocal instruction through insights from prominent voice researchers. Together, they leverage their collective experience to support one another in their teaching endeavors.
