Graham developed a passion for music at an early age. He began his musical education at the age of 6 with piano and with the backing of his music-focused family he moved on to explore other musical avenues including flute, trumpet, tenor horn and choral singing. His passion for drums and percussion developed during his teens alongside his love of progressive rock and metal.

Throughout university Graham continued to develop his skills on both piano and drums with various original and function bands in Wales before relocation to Northamptonshire and joining function band, Fraudio, helping to build it into one of the UK’s busiest function bands.

Alongside CAIRO and his function work, Graham continues to explore original music working with rising acoustic artist Jess Vincent and veteran folk artist Reg Meuross on Jess’s 2015 album Shine.
