About Me

I have been playing brass instruments since I was 8 years old. I chose the trombone because it was different from all the rest of the brass family (having no valves). I started playing gigs with Combo La Revelacion at the age of 16, and have since played with almost every latin band in Melbourne over the years... These days I'm more in to Funk music, thanks to Relax With Max who introduced me to James Brown's music.Fred Wesley would have to be one my greatest influences, I've transcribed most of his classic solos...You can catch me around town with various bands including Relax With Max, Nudist Funk Orchestra, Rumberos, Combo La Revelacion and of course - SOUL GLO, which is a project I put together with the lovely Miss Shirley Davis on vocals, along with some other great musicians including Nick Lester on saxophones, Shane Goonan on guitar, Dave Dharumasena on bass and vocals, Dan Knight playing keyboards, Ivan "Choi" Khatchoiyan on drums, and various great percussionists... They are my in my top friends, stop by and check us out sometime.
