About Me


I'm in the music industry! Living the dream, doing what I know best, well doing the only thing I know how! Started off doing campus radio (Rau Radio), went on to manage CD Wherehouse, launched my own Music and Entertainment magazine called Verge and now I'm working for a record company (Sheer). Also did some writing for FHM.

Between the mag, the radio, the record company and just being around the industry, these are the artists I have interviewed and/or met so far:

Shawn Phillips Billy Joel Blindside Gyroscope Collective Soul Dave Matthews BandBloc PartyMetallicaFatboy SlimThe RasmusJohn LegendWill SmithLudacrisTim Robbins SeetherArno CarstensWonderboomCutting Jade16stitchWickheadLove JonesMissy HigginsJosh Cunningham (The Waifs)Albert FrostSugardriveArmand Van HeldenK's ChoiceLouise CarverMxoState Far BetterFahrenheitSlugs Of WarSoul ProxyPrime CircleTree63MarloweCrazy Monkey GuysNibs van der Spuy Farryl Purkiss

Err yeah... I think that's it. Might be more.

I also play guitar, drums, bass, piano, flute, pennywhistle, harmonica aaaaand the triangle! :D Would love to be in a professional band one day... if I could only find the time!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

    Michael Jackson Charlie Chaplin U2 Foo Fighters Juliette Lewis Paul McCartney John Lennon Michael J Fox Ray Charles Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver!) Seinfeld Clapton Van Halen Rick Rubin it goes on and on and on and on

American Idol Gives Back (That Sick Feeling I Had When I Ate A Bad Pie)

I've been robbed! I have just spent about 2.5 hours of my life watching American Idol. Why you ask? I don't know. I did not lose a bet, nor was I forced. I just did it. Maybe it was lack of anything b...
