 Higgs Boson Higgs started playing the piano at the age of 8 and studied the instrument classically while still at school. At the age of 15 he became a rock drummer, playing original material in local bands. The most notable of these was Helter Skelter, a band managed by Will Palin, former sound engineer to David Bowie and tour manager to Chris de Burgh. |
| It wasn’t until Higgs was asked to play in a jazz trio that his interest in the piano was rekindled. He spent the next 5 years fanatically pursuing knowledge of his newfound love - Jazz. He studied under Malcolm Cliff, a jazz pianist on the then London circuit, and big band arranger Ian Gardener. After this he spent a number of years playing solo modern jazz piano in clubs and restaurants in and around London while developing his own unique musical style. At 28 Higgs moved back to his native Devon to focus on writing. He produced a self-named CD album which received excellent reviews from the British music press and was featured on Humphrey Littleton’s “Best of Jazz on Record” show on BBC Radio 2. Higgs is currently working on 2 album projects in his own studio, which he hopes will be completed sometime this year. He also writes music for television. |
