About Me

I'm Australian and I live in Leeds with my fiancee. I'm starting a band to play live all the songs I've written and recorded in my bedroom and collated on my album "Coloured Suit" It's my last shot at being able to earn enough to live on through my music. I'm not going for "MTV Cribs" type of success (in fact the extravagance and self absorbtion in that show makes me feel quite violent...) but I would like to be able to write, record and perform music as a job.I'm in the process of learning how to put my songs on here - so stay tuned! Hope you enjoy it.
