About Me

Collaborations with the fantastic vocals of Cherie Mathieson, Tama Waipara, Tyra Hammond and Bjorn Peterson are on my debut album "WAKE", available in all good record stores through the nice folk at Rhythmethod.

You can buy the album online at the amplifier website:

WAKE is also available on iTunes:
