About Me

Born in Australia - Australian mother, Slovenian father. Grew up in Newcastle listening to and playing music. Also played football (soccer) and surfed.
Moved to the north coast to attend university for a couple of years and then came to Japan when I was 20, my home since 1993.
These days, I spend my time supporting two of the greatest football teams, Vissel Kobe and West Ham United, and I also play (very) amateur baseball.
But more than anything, I'm a music freak. I still listen to it, play it and dream about it every single day. Pretty much anything - as long as it grooves.
