Bio

Here’s a brief pictorial biography for those who may be interested!

I was born in Adelaide.

I grew up on a 20 acre property in a small town called Bluewater, just north of Townsville.

I started playing guitar in primary school.

(I believe Achy Breaky Heart was the first song I ever learnt)

I graduated from uni in 2005 with a Bachelor of Theatre (majoring in technical production)

I moved to Brisbane where I played in a covers duo called Mayhem for almost three years.

I recorded an EP called Comfort Zone in 2007 and started playing solo.

During this time I fell for a girl I met online so I followed my heart to England to meet her.

It didn’t work out exactly as we’d hoped.

But I ended up in London where I found the most awesome job with an organic food company, met the most amazing people, saw the most incredible places, drank the most flavoursome beer, and just generally had the best fucking time of my life.

After 15 months my working holiday visa expired so I had to come back home to Australia.

I’m currently in Sydney and I recorded an album at the end 2010, which was released in August 2011.

And that’s about it!
