About Me

At 23 years of age, I was put up for adoption by my parents. Humiliated from the rejection I ran to the streets.. Alley cats and white rap artists became my new family. Yeah, for a few months there I was living a life of crime.. Beating up old homeless guys for their last cigarette butts, holding up 711's for the latest edition of News Weekly.. My soul was begging to see the light. And one day, with the power of God's grace, I was dug up from under my stolen pile of News Weeklys and cigarette butts...

I am a member of the Warm Guns, playing the keys and throwing in some vocal. We've been playing for a few months now.

Also in my spare time I like to play guitar in a two piece, me and my friend Ari have called The Triple P's (Prisoner Protection Program). At the moment we have about five 20 second songs. We're hoping that one day soon we'll be playing at RSL clubs,swingers' parties, weddings, funerals, school fetes.. We like to see ourselves as chameleons.

I am now a Go-Go Bandit. We have so far sung an Edith Piaf song for the rolling credits of a friend's horror film and performed the Hokey Pokey, Chicken Dance and a few other songs of that nature at the Jindalee Skating Bowl. We also do a good version of Creedence's Proud Mary.
