About Me

Hey!


I'm Stephen, some of my mates call me ning or steve, but I'm really not too fussed. I'm 26 and I do vox/keys/some instruments. Send me a message if you feel like saying g'day.
Here's a bio I bundled together a the other day:
Currently I'm the keyboard player/backing vocalist/instrumentalist in PTyLTd and we have recently supported Groove Armada and Crazy Penis at their shows. Recent festival appearences include "The Playground Weekender" and "Shore Thing" in Sydney. PTyLTd have recently had their track "Party Girl" played several times by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1.
I recently did a freelance show at the powerhouse as keys/vox for "Justin Bond" out of NY which was a highly demanding gig as it involved intense reading of vox/keys chart combined with organising/balancing patches. We performed an album by the Carpenters.
Before returning back to Australia and immediately joining PTyLTd, I was frellancing around the UK working with several bands including the UK covers band Madison on their 2 month contract performing in "The Arena, Internation Music Venue" in singapore. Prior to this, I was working freelance and a little session around London for just over 12 months.
Before leaving Australia, I worked with mainly with the rooftops and freelanced with jazz, pop, rock groups and in production projects, mainly Muzik 1 and related. I co-produced some remixes for some Australian Idols and the x-record label Legit Music and we all went to the arias in 2005. That was fun!
send email enquiries to [email protected] as I check it more regularly than this page!
Thanks,
Stephen
