About Me


found this plain layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com :: MyHotComments
Aaah....what's to know....as a musician I get my biggest buzz when I make the artist I'm working with feel good and sound great. It's not about me, it's about what I do working for the music.
The 90's were mainly spent with Celtic Rock outfit 'Dirty Linen', with a lot of good times and three great albums coming from it. These days I'm helping to develop the careers of two awesome up and coming artists. In the US, the time I've spent with Pop/Dance Diva 'Jacinta' has been truly incredible, with the fruits of our labour now coming to bear as she climbs the Billboard Hot Dance Club Chart, with a lot more to come. In Australia, dynamic country rock performer Colin Fox is about to break the scene, with a new single and video clip on CMC and an album in the can. The video was lots of fun, as you'll see if you live in OZ, and the albums really strong (kind of....Keith Urban meets Rascal Flatts....kind of..), working with producer Michael Flanders.To unwind, the best thing I can do is 'jam out on my djembe', and I've been very lucky this past 18 months, being able to sit in with such awesome talents as Jennifer Corday and Lise Liddell in the USA, and Colin Fox and Nik Phillips in Australia. Beautiful people.
Ah....that's all well and good they say, but what do you 'really' do? You know, like...a day job?....Sure....check out my companies and have a gander at the websites....it's all related.
The Other Side of my Life?....Two failed marriages, the first relationship lasting five years, the second 12. A gorgeous daughter from the first keeps it all real, and still my greatest achievement. But I figure my true Soul Mate is still out there, so, as ever the optimist, I'm not going to 'throw in the towel' just yet!
