About Me

I am an Australian born songwriter from the Gold Coast, Queensland, who has played in pubs and different venues since 16 years of age. Growing up with 70's rock was great, though now my taste in music is broad. I started realizing my musical interests early when at 6 I took to the piano and attempted to play Christmas carols by ear. I began learning piano at 10 from a tutor and switched to guitar at 12. The guitar was more my thing as I fancied myself as being like Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple) and Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) . One of my highlights was co-writing the original Kirra Surf jingle with the Shadows drummer, Tony Meehan. My instrumentals have been used for promotional material and surfing segments on Creek To Coast, a T.V. fishing and beach show.
My forte is lead guitar though I program and produce on all levels. Sonar is my prefered format for computer recording and editing. I am currently producing new material for my latest album.
