Teddy, from Nairobi, touched his first piano aged 16. He saved his lunch money to go to a cybercafé to learn to play with YouTube tuition. Cordelia Williams met Teddy and recognized his talent during Covid restrictions. She gave him his first lessons and helped him apply to conservatoires in the UK. At the Conservatoire Teddy was immersed in intensive piano training with Principal Piano Tutor Katharine Lam. He has worked with extreme dedication to develop his musical expression. In 2024 he appeared on The Piano and impressed Lang Lang! And now he is here!
