Saxophonist originating from Knaresborough, North Yorkshire

Forshaw graduated from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in 1995, and began working with groups such as the London Sinfonietta, the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.

In 2006 Sony BMG offered Forshaw a four album exclusive deal which he renounced. He set up his own label, Integra Records, enabling him to maintain his independence as an artist.
