About Me

A little info on the songs...If you like guitar solos listen to ' I Don't Care' and the end of 'Trouble'
'Save a Soul' was written about 2 years ago but I didn't think
much of it up until about 6 months ago.I got into music at the age of 10 when i was chosen to play an instrument at my school. After a year of playing the trumpet i recieved a music scholarship to what is now my high school. At the age of 13 as my interest in instruments grew i started to notice my dads old guitar behind the tv. Before long i found my self with my own guitar writing my own songs. Since then i have been in and out of bands that didn't go that far and have realised that i am better suited to writing songs of a solo nature. But i still enjoy being in bands and am currently looking for peeps to jam with.I recently entered an all ages music competition with over 40 entries it came down to me and 7 other bands. I was meant to perform with a backup band but problems occured and i was left to do it by myself. Although I was the only solo artist on the day and all the other bands were well above my age i still managed to place 3rd winning approximately $700 worth of prizes. I currently live in Mandurah and have done all my life.I released my first album in July last year and i've this year finished my new album which was released on the 9th May. It's titled 'Who I am' and comprises of songs that to me make up who I am hence the name. However it has a bit of a double meaning also saying that my music is all i am and without it I'm not much at all. Comparing it to my last album, the new album is just a whole lot better seeing a greater inclusion of drums and accompniament instead of just voice and guitar.Im now back to the drawing board concentrating on songwriting and a lot of singing practise. Time is short atm with my last term of school but once thats over i'll be getting out there giging around Perth and Mandurah.
