About Me

Hi, if your reading my myspace page!20 seconds about me ...I grew up in England where I was born and moved to Australia in 1997. It was 2004 that I attended a concert which changed my view on the music world... I ended up picking up a guitar and focusing on writing songs...After a few guitar lessons I decided to teach myself. In these past few years I've started University and am studying Film/Video. All at the same time I'm trying to start a music career. I've just finished my first EP with my first few decent songs on. It's called "Stranger" and is where I am right now!
