About Me

Music is like breathing and has always been the medium in which I release & wrap up those less than pleasant experiences in life. I was born into a musical family in the '70's and have been writing my own songs since I can remember. I have performed at various functions, cafe's, pubs etc. in Tasmania and Northern NSW over the years and had the pleasure of perfoming at the opening night of a friend's art exhibition for Downs' Syndrome Week in Hobart last year. I recorded my debut album, 'Hermitage' (yet to be released) in Sydney early 2006. 'I Adore You' is off the album that was produced by Bernard Stock and mastered by Zach Belinson at SmallTown Records. 'Turn The Lights On', 'Fire' and 'Under Your Bed' are products of my own home recording efforts. 'Mechanic Rain' is a collaborated effort between my far across - the - oceans friends, Lolo, Philippe & myself with Lolo creating the main body of the song & Philippe's guitar lines and my vocals over the top. It is not yet completed and you will hear that in parts of the song I have not yet decided on which vocal line to go with so I've just used them both : )
I hope you enjoy.
