A classically trained organist and keys player, Broadstrokes is based in the North East of the UK. His music is direct and personal, and steeped in jazz influences. His tracks often see soft, inviting melodies with brushes of discordance, and feature driving hip hop rhythms with flavours of funk and disco. His powerful four-piece live band includes the use of synth organ pedals, a brash horn section, and live drums. 
 Broadstrokes is an alumni of Gilles Peterson’s Future Bubblers program, a scheme to mentor new artists from across the UK and help them develop. In 2017 Broadstrokes was featured on Peterson’s latest legendary Brownswood Bubblers compilation with track 'Clean' alongside artists like Madison McFerrin, Vulture Street Tape Gang, Buttering Trio and more.
