Barnaby studied classical piano from an early age in his home city of Oxford. His great uncle, Herbert Sumsion, was a renowned English composer and as such Barnaby grew up in a musical environment drawing greatly from his Grandmother's experience as a classical violinist and his father's experience as a lounge/jazz pianist. Barnaby later went on to train as an Actor at The Oxford School of Drama, before studying Actor Musicianship at Rose Bruford College.
