Hailing from a tiny little town, technically a hamlet, called Wellstead, 100kms from Albany in South WA, I am now kicking around Freo, soaking up the free-for-all vibe and writing songs about pigeons and cats. I started talking at a tender young age, a habit which escalated into singing, and all hell broke loose when i picked up a guitar aged 10. Now i think in lyrics and have to carry notebooks around at all times. I'm getting a bit more serious about things these days, and you can catch me playing somewhere in Freo or Perth most weekends. So far, i've played solo, duo and with a band at the following venues:Mojos in North Fremantle WA THe Hyde Park Hotel WA The Rosemount Hotel WA The Railway Hotel WA Creatures Loft WA JB O'Reillys Leederville WA Clancys Fish Pub Fremantle WAIn July 2008, I came 3rd on the Semi-Final of The Next Big Thing Competition. As well, my song "Travelling Light" co-written with Brett Crabtree and also featuring Thomas Wearne on drums and bass has been featured on Vijay Khurana's Triple J Unearthed Podcast.Currently working on recording an EP to be released very soon! Why I write... I write because there are no words, and i have convinced myself that the inkling of a rhyme is the footprint of truth. I sing because i have no voice so i chew up my syllables of sadness and spit them out at you, my faceless faithfuls, in the hope that you may derive some narcotic nutrition from my rhetoric. Resolution comes in the asking of the question, not the patronising offer of an answer. Dont listen and think you somehow know me better, I'll never admit it was me who wrote these...
