A Bit About Me



I was born in Gunnedah (NSW, AUSTRALIA), grew up in Curlewis, a small town with about 100 kids at the local primary school. These towns are neighbours of the Country Music Capital of Australia (Tamworth). My passion for music was inspired by the first tape i brought, Gun's 'n' Roses - Illusions and listen to my families records. I started learning guitar when i was 10 years old and growing my hair to be like Slash. Around this time i was diagnosed with a rare liver disease that was very serious. In my teenage years i focused on heavy metal, classical guitar and playing in my band 'Gallows'.

It was around 1995, that i was first captured by electronic music, i can remember the moment clearly, travelling from Gunnedah to Tamworth in my cousin's Commodore with a big sound system, i was half asleep listening to his 'Dance Mix of 95', the track that caught me was the 'X-FILES' remix and then i discovered DEF-FX, Peewee Ferris and Hocus Pocus - Here's Johnny! I went to my first club in Sydney - Sublime in Pitt st, and was a regular at the 'Boiler Room' Big Day Outs, eventually spending most of my time in there and not seeing the rock bands anymore.

Now i've over-come my liver disease and depression through natural therapies and a holistic approach to mind, body and soul. I have more energy, creativity and passion for music than ever.

I have moved from the dry west to the lush north coast nsw where i completed a Bachelor of Multimedia. i live near the beach with my beautiful partner, near Coffs Harbour. Im also working a full time job, its kinda like social work, so im pretty busy, but luvin it!
