About Me

Born yonks ago. Don't remember much about it. My mum took me to heaps of concerts and gigs as a toddler and ankle-biter, and the record player was always on. Then started singing in bands at around 14, which I have done ever since. Had one great singing teacher, Olga, who lent me her Aretha Franklin records. Had a second singing teacher, who ruined my technique for about a year until I stopped seeing her. Don't recall her name.
I did soul and blues almost exclusively for ten years, then moved on to originals with a multitude of great bands - jazz, funk, rock, pop, thrash, grunge.
Am currently the lead vocalist, main songwriter and manager of Liminal. You can check out the band at

Most proud of:
Songs I have written.
Liminal - great players and great guys.
Singing live on the MTV Rock Awards show 1994.
Getting up on stage with the wicked Wilson Pickett when he toured Melbourne.
Not proud of:
Attracting stalkers and assorted fruitbats. It happens a lot. It may well be happening right now!
Some of my most notable original bands include:
The Dormice - thrash
Bull In A China Shop - rock/pop
Magic Circle Club - dance rock
Nova - rock/pop
As-U-Do aka The Late - jazz/funk

who i sound like

People are always coming up to me after gigs, complimenting me on my voice. It's cringingly embarrassing to me, but I am getting better at saying, "Thank you!" and smiling.One thing that often happens...

Yeah, alright. I will put some songs up. So much for remaining mysterious. Now go away and let me grump in peace.
