About Me

Hi....I'm a Trumpet Owner/Composer from Melbourne, Australia. Although I'm a bit of a jazz tragic, I have been known to play other styles of music as well.Some of the musicians/bands I have toured or played with include: Alice Cooper, Natalie Imbruglia, Roger Daltrey, Jimmy Barnes, Petula Clark, Peter Frampton, Hugh Jackman and Joe Camilleri's JazzHeads. Those are the famous, boring and yawn-worthy 2-chord superstars.My most proud moments have been playing with the likes of My Band, Gordon Brisker, Wessell Anderson, Jamie Oehlers, Paul Williamson, Toby Mak, Ian Chaplin, Danny Fisher, Matt Clohesy, Rumberos, Mussikki Oy and a host of others.As I am a terrible hustler of gigs and self-promoter, my Quintet has not played outside of Melbourne.
