Damio Sun…The Founding Member… ‘Music is God.. God I love music! We all deserve the grace that music brings… and that’s why I do it. To spread it round, man!’ Born and bred on the Gold Coast, the land of the long white beaches, the best banana thickshakes the world has to see and a long line of live music and theatre. From the age of 3, Damo was sipping schooners by his Granmas piano in the many clubs and pubs, and singing along to the old tunes. It was my voice that was my first instrument, followed by guitar, bass, percussion, drums and didgeridoo and I am currently learning piano. Variety is the spice of life.’ Not only is this talented young man an accomplished and well rounded musician, but he is also trained in theatre arts, performance and movement. Having been in many successful original bands and a finalist for JJJ’s Unearthed, Damion has the talent and drive to be a total success!
Melani M…Born at an incredibly young age, Melani Sun is happiest on the stage, singing, dancing and making people happy with her infectious, powerful presence and deep knowledge of rhythm and groove. Melani has been dancing before she could walk and playing music before she could talk. A mighty songwriter and founding member of Cloud 9. A multi-instrumentalist and self taught muso with a larger than life stage presence and a drive to bring good, original, positive music to the people.
Malcom... ‘The Sauce’ Wood is an exceptional trumpet and flugelhorn player since the ripe old age of 5. Having played with the likes of James Brown, and the Resin Dogs, he continues to blow audiences away with his saucy and delicious (and incredibly nutritious) …horny melodies and sweet lines… Yum… The boy can Blow!!!
Charlie Wall…a Sagittarian who likes walks on the beach… candlelit dinner… and kick-ass pumping… RHYTHMS!! This crazy samoan, also known as The Captain… has been banging on the drums since conception. With a mother who danced professionally throughout his childhood, and a whole tribe of musician uncles, Charlies is a natural as tha King of Bongo Himself. A master percussionist, and professional drum teacher, Charlies studied drums and percussion at uni for 5 years (he was the only student to pass with 100% full marks and honours).
