Hello world,A bit about me…I’m originally from Adelaide in South Australia – a little city with a small town vibe. I was a drummer from birth thanks to my father’s genes. He's been a drummer in rock’n roll bands since I can remember.My first guitar came to me at age fifteen. It was a cheap electric Hondo that went out of tune all the time, but it came with a home made amp from a guy in my Dad’s band. It had a great natural warm fuzz when I cranked it.I spent many weekends and nights jamming on the old "Hondo-matic" to stuff I liked at the time: Nirvana, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chilly Peppers, Hendrix, The Breeders, The Cure, The Beatles and Bob Marley and the Wailers to name but a few.I moved to London after Uni where I bought a cheap acoustic guitar and began writing songs. I liked some of the stuff I was jamming on so I borrowed my housemate’s dictaphone and began recording songs. I opened up Pandora’s box with that cheap ass acoustic guitar and dictaphone. I learned how good it felt to express my-self through music: my fears, joys, and frustrations, stories of my experiences inside and out. This was a turning point for me musically and things were never going to be the same.That stuff was pretty dark but a valid part of my song writing and experiences in London. A lot has changed since then and I feel my music has come a long way. My latest body of work represents a culmination of a year of solid writing and gigging around the Sydney open-mic circuit and life at Maroubra beach in Sydney, Australia.In short I am stoked to be alive, to feel the sun on my face, to breath the sea air, to ride waves and to share with you the joy that writing and performing music brings me.I hope you enjoy.BIG CheersLittle HEFTY
