About Me

BUY THE NEW HERD ALBUM - SUMMERLAND HERE
Writing lyrics and graffiti led me down the dark path into the music industry - no formal music training yo.

Started in Explanetary we released one EP In On The Deal (2000). Then joined The Herd and we released debut album (2001). Went on to second Herd album An Elefant Never Forgets (2003) before releasing my debut solo album Distant Sense of Random Menace in 2004. In 2005/06 The Herd released The Sun Never Sets.

My second album is called The Signal and was released in 2007. It's been nominated for a 2007 J Award as well as two AIR Awards and was shortlisted for the 2007 Australian Music Prize. It's since been released internationally by Motivo who have worldwide rights.

The newest release I'm involved with is our little band The Herd and our fourth album Summerland - released May 24 2008 - and entering the national Aust charts at number 7.
