About Me

hey, thanks for dropping by!

I'm now living in adelaide, australia with my wife, ministering at the Market-Place Church as the worship minister. It's been a long journey to this point, but being able to serve here has been such a privelage and fulfilling. The Church is a city Church which brings many wonderful walks of life, and it's growing each week which has been sweet.

i'm also very passionate about music, and songwriting. it's definately an art form that allows me to express where i'm at and who i am and becoming, life's a journey and so is every song i write, whether it's life focused or specifically written for a church, we've been given the opportunity to walk the journey each day with or without God.

I've always had a heart to worship to God, simply because of who He is and What He's done... none other deserve our praise than Jesus... My wife and I are excited about the future, serving through the Church and into the community.

Gods been challenging me on a number of things, but for this ministry, to be focused on the whole realm of worship... not just the music stuff. to build a healthy ministry that has its servants leading the way in love, grace and service. that the music would be only just one way in which the Church can praise etc... in terms of music, i love to see songs that are biblically sound, and annointed by God for His people to sing to honour Him. not just a 'cool sound' but a timeless annointed sound that affirms God and His character, along with appropriate ways to enter His courts allowing Him to minister to His people.

so with many challenges ahead for all of us, i encourage you no matter how hard or easy your day has been going, to take a moment to acknowledge the King amidst your circumstances.

Influences:

influenced by? well, when playing or in song writing mode, its more about whats surrounding me... my circumstances... my relationships... my opportunities... my outlook on life. i hope to think that im always influenced by Christ in all that i do so its more about creating sounds and emotions in the melody and music that help to portray what im feeling or trying to communicate... for the song to sound like what its saying.

ive always loved to write with the acoustic guitar... its a sweet instrument to write with and express. lifes always a journey, and so therefore so are my songs... each band i hope does the same thing rather than try and copy the latest sound or feel. so its hard to list bands that directly influence how i write, but im sure there are some that do.


Sounds Like: a guy just expressing himself through song whilst using his acoustic to do so.
Record Label: None... yet.

always a journey.

it's always amazing that behind a catchy melody, or emotionally charged song, whatever the sound, there's always a story behind why the song was written. whether from positive places, challenging plac...
