AUDIO  LYRICSPHOTOSVIDEOVLOGs
I grew up in the small Victorian surf coast town of Breamlea and picked up a guitar at an early age when I fell in love with music. Early punk rock influences came from the Fat Wreck Chords school of NOFX, Bracket, Mad Caddies, Propagandhi and the like, as well as the vastly different folk sounds of Paul Kelly, The Waifs, David Hosking, Loren and The John Butler Trio. After playing a few small punk rock gigs at and around school, I began to feel the pull of the acoustic world and started writing politically charged folk songs. I even wrote and performed a song as part of my Year 12 English assessment on the stolen generations.
Education has been a long running competitor for time with me, but after 5 years of various studies including Physics and Electronic Engineering in Melbourne, I've finally completed my thesis and got my degree in Renewable Energy Engineering in Perth. Although the split between the East and West coasts of Australia has made for some interesting inspiration, its wreaked havoc with taking music to the next level, but at least now Ive satisfied the rational part of my brain sufficiently to allow my intuitive mind to fully concentrate on music!
Recently, Ive played gigs around The Surf Coast at venues including The RipCurl Pro, the Torquay Hotel, Surfrider Cafe, Growlers, The Rose, Ripe lounge, 38 Degrees South in Anglesea and The Empress in Melbs as well as the annual High Tide Festival. I've supported artists including James Reyne and Beau Young. On the other side of the continent, Ive played at Mojos, The Norfolk Basement and The Swan Acoustic Lounge in Fremantle.
I try to maintain honesty in my lyrics, drawing inspiration from social, political and environmental issues around the world, blended with my own personal experiences to create a unique, powerful sound varying from upbeat reggae/dub to the raw, emotional sounds of folk/rock.
