I'm working on a few projects. I'll tell you more about me now.
Nothing thrills me more than a good song...Buying myself a hot new outfit...eating. My passion is purely singing. In the last ten years thats all I've been doing. It started off quite simple. Lesson and then finally gigs. Its been an absolute pleasure to live my dreams. I eventually got myself into a recording studio and wrote some songs. OOh...I finally put some photo's into my profile too. Have a look and give me a comment if you like........
Ok about the music. I play in a few bands... I'll start at the begining. GRAND WAZOO. Its a huge outfit (14 pcs). Its classic soul time whenever we are out and about playing at melbourne towns finest venues, Corp. functions parties and festival events. I've been with them since 1998. A long time. They've got two cd's. The new disk is called 'Soul Monster'. Come and check us out at the Blue Diamond on sunday nights at 6pm in the city. You'll love it. Live and direct soul vibes. You can find them in my friends section if you'd like a listen............
Next is DEEPFACE...You can find us at WWW.Deepfacemusic.com..... We are an original dance act. Chris corby and Fran Power are my partners in crime in this project. I absolutely love this project. DEEPFACE are all about Big crowds, interviews, write ups, Fantastic shows and I get the star treatment whenever its a deepface day. Our first single went to number 5 in Australia. Fran, Chris and I scored our first aria nomination for Best Dance Release for 2005 with our first single 'BEEN GOOD'. 'BEEN GOOD' turned itself into a dance floor filler. Radio station and DJ's loved it. One of the most played dance tracks for 2005. 19 weeks in the Australian top 50. Which is massive for an artist like me. This year Pro Motion one of America's largest dance promoters brought us onto there books which allowed our music to head off overseas to the states. Our first U.S single 'I WANT TO LIVE' peeked at number 18 in the billboard dance charts. I'm waiting to see what happens next. I wonder which single they'll choose from our album 'FEEL THE LOVE'. So 2008 is still a big year for DEEPFACE. Anything can happen for us. The album is available all over OZZIELAND and UK. Buy it on the net. So grab one, its part of my musical journey...........Where getting ready to write some more tunes now. The times right. We're getting brave again and starting to write again. So expect something new from us in 2009...
Ok now we are up to SOUL GLO. I love what i get to do. We've worked really really hard this year. We wrote 15 tunes. Right now where are recording like crazy but where ready for it. We've tried and tested our new songs at our shows for the last few months. Its been a blast. SOUL GLO is a eight piece funk outfit. We cover anything funky and all that makes you dance. You can have a listen, they are one of my top friends. Our tunes are up for all to hear. I front this band and get to sing all my favourite tunes. I love Christina A. Jill Scott. Sharon Jones and the Dap kings I love so many artists. All are heavily featured in our rep. You can catch us at the espy and blue diamond (city) or the Night cat in fitzroy. Or the Veludo in St Kilda. Bring your dancing shoes, because you'll need them. We are half way through making our cd so it won't long before i'll be able to give you something to take home with ya. We love our audience. The boys really ham it up for our shows. Nice and tight and truly funky! I'm spoilt working with such amazing musicians. I'm pleased as punch at the music we get to make.

'ITS ALL ABOUT THE HOUSE MUSIC' is in shops around Australia NOW... support original music. Plus you can download on 'BEATPORT'. (Deepface is on beatport too). I've got a few songs done now with J' NITTI. Others I can think of are 'WAITING ALL MY LIFE' and 'EVISSA'. 'Deep down'. Have a listen to all our stuff if you can. I loved writing for them. See if they strikes a chord inside ya and you start moving. Oh yes I forgot two more project.....
