Since winning a MOBO in 1998 for Best Jazz Act, pianist KDC has worked with many artists including Roy Ayers, Dennys Baptiste, Jeff Kashiwa, Jocelyn Brown and guitarist Martin Taylor M.B.E. He has released three solo albums and has played at many top international Jazz Festivals including Nice, North Sea, Cork and Ingostadt.
Aside from hotels, conferences and parties he has also played at Ronnie Scott’s, 606 club, Pizza express Dean Street, The National Theatre and The Jazz Cafe.
Until it's closure in February this year KDC was a regular feature at the Soho Pizzeria in Beak Street where his mixture of Jazz standards, TV Themes and RnB classics drew an appreciative audience.
One of his current projects is solo piano repertoire - Music from the great depression where he performs compositions by the great English stride pianist of the day - Billy Mayerl, and from across the Atlantic, George Gershwin and his masterpiece - Rhapsody In Blue.
