About Me

Music to me is pretty simple. Dont think just play.
And if people like what they hear then thats good..
Born in Nambucca Heads NSW 1984 – Jarrah’s family soon after moved to Melbourne to make a life and living. Music was always a huge part in his early life with his father teaching him an E chord at age 6, then onto writing his first song at age 12. Playing in his earliest band at age 13 was a memorable experience. He performed acoustic radio spots on AM radio station 3CR and played numerous battle of the bands contests. “We just liked hearing our amps cranked in the garage…” says Jarrah “just the idea of making music was what held us” 2001 saw the birth of a rock band 147k along with the guidance of Australian Hall Of Fame Inductee Lobby Loyde. “Those years were where I learned about life and the music business from a great guitar legend” They went on to play most major venues in Melbourne. From there grew a great passion for playing guitar and writing music. Now in 2007 we see the explosive, passionate, blues/rock 3 piece band with Chris Cameron on drums, Kristoff Lajoie on bass and Jarrah on guitar and vox. Their debut Ep. “The Crown Jewels” puts blues/rock in a new forum. Out through Blackbird Music Publishing. ..so take part and be a friend for life.
