Diz Establishment

An eclectic musical project, with songs featuring an array of contemporary musical genres.

'Somebody Made This' - Psychedelic fusion, existential dread, spoken word, bossa nova, melodramatic humdrum.

'Mister Establishment' - Electro-circus-psych-pop, bedroom-disco, London in a nutshell, verbal diarrhea, Pepper homage.

'False Advertising' - Acid jazz meets lo-fi grunge, Dizadelica, self-sampling, how to tame an impala. Featured on BBC Introducing in London during August 2021.

'Because, Public Image' - Proto-electro-drill-bop-discowave, 2007 meets 2057, smartphone in the bin, Proto-Nouvelle personified, another spoken word piece, Charlie Yardbird Parker meets Headie One meets the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever.

I carry out the majority of production, songwriting, instrumentation and performance alone - I produce on Logic Pro X.

'A Look is a Gun' Live @ Amersham Arms (2026) - lookin' for a box for my strap

Live footage of Diz Establishment performing at various London venues from 2024-2026.
In a live context, my compositions take on a more Jazz-fusion influenced sound, with elements of Punk and Funk. There is lots of room for the musicians to improvise, and often perform elaborate solos. The musicians who make up the live group are incredibly gifted, and are well-immersed within London's vibrant music scene.

Footage of us in rehearsal, May 2026.

Live footage with other groups

Kihaya is a group led by Tanzanian singer-songwriter and guitarist, Kyazi Lugangira.
The music incorporates influences of Afro-Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues and Latin music, borrowing musical elements from the countries Tanzania, Congo, South Africa, Mali, Senegal and Brazil. Kihaya has been playing all around London for over a decade, and I joined the group as lead guitarist in July 2024.

The Military is a group that draws influences from Punk music, Psychedelia, Jazz and the experimental. The songs are characterised by elaborate structural changes, existential lyrical themes and noise. I am primarily the bassist.

Other groups I play in - bass guitar within a George Michael Tribute Band. Nuff said.I was also the guitarist in a Funk-Fusion band called Sweet Mess, and currently play guitar in the backing band for London-based artist, Ruby Jean Smith.

I've played, recorded with and performed with various bands and artists for the last decade. Some of these consist of Kihaya, The Military, Sweet Mess, Friends & Therapists, Montara, Sambambo, Ruby Jean Smith, Zamar-Eden, Taomi, Etaf, Harri Best, Zoot Lord, VivStillKills, Zarina Macha, Gromit, Rudy and the Bagpipes, J-Sol, The Greenwich Blues Band and a George Michael Tribute Band named Careless Whiskers.

I have experience producing songs for other artists across the genres; pop, afrobeat, bossa nova, reggae, psychedelic rock as well as music for a trailer.My journey producing for others has only just begun, and it is something I want to do, as much as possible.I am capable in aligning whatever ideas I have about a track with the other artists vision, and am equally able to build off of a demo recording or paint the canvas however I feel may fit.

Written scores

'Dandruff' is a song off of the Diz Establishment project titled 'Proto-Nouvelle'.
It is a song that blends together elements of Punk, RnB and Psychedelia .
I have arranged a score for the composition to be interpreted within a live-orchestral context, featuring a string quartet amongst other instruments.
