About Me

I'm yet another Aussie muso living in London. I Grew up in the Blue Mountains and after messing around with Piano and Guitar for a few years picked up the Saxophone and fell in love. I moved to Canberra to study jazz at the ANU with John Mackey, Miroslav Bukovsky, Eric Ajaye, Mike Price, Col Hoorweg and Dave Panichi.... After 4 years of playing, studying, gigging and generally having a blast I moved to Byron Bay to play in soul band for six months and see pretty much all of the east coast..... (I'm now addicted to the beach). So when you love the beach where do you go next???? London!!! I'm now living in London playing, teaching, seeing loads of great music and being another typical Aussie.... backpacking around Europe.
