About Me

I'm originally from Canberra. Moved to Sydney in 1993 to play with Sean Wayland's band "Seed". After playing in Sydney for 10 years, I was offered a gig here in Shanghai 2002 and decided to stay for a while. It's fun here. I do miss the beach though.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
