Biography: Diggle has been around music and playing instruments on and off since the age of 4. Beginning with classical piano lessons and going onto song writing on guitar through his teens. This lead to playing the keyboards and bass in a 7-piece jam band, which also included his dad. Diggle also spent time in his 20’s travelling to Norway to play festivals. The band released a song a week for a year to raise money for three homeless charities in the UK, jammed live with different drummers and vocals added afterwards.
Diggle moved to London to play synth in an electronic-rock three piece for 18 months after his undergrad degree ended. Diggle then decided to pursue his own material and become professional at production with a Masters at ICMP supporting the likes of Clean Bandit being a session musician for bands on the way.
Currently, Diggle is working towards a PhD in sound healing, alongside working as a sound AV technician teaching 121 lessons on Vocals, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums and song writing in London.
