ABOUT

Currently seeking new ‘original band’. Current projects have come to an abrupt end (due to serious illness with vocalist).

After picking up my first six string over 35 years ago, it was soon apparent to me that this was an instrument of fascination and vast expression. I vividly remember watching live musicians at a young impressionable age, being blown away by what I had just seen.

My love for the guitar, and trade background also led to working with some of Adelaide's top guitar luthiers, repairing, restoring, and refinishing new and vintage guitars. I have also finished and customised my own personal guitars and amps over the years.

My musical journey has led me through such experiences as cofounding a hard rock cover band, spanning a decade. Regularly playing Adelaide’s pub scene, tribute bands, parties, corporate and community events.
There have been numerous original bands in the genre of metal, punk rock, folk, to acoustic duo.

While with these bands, I’ve been fortunate to have been included in the production of four EP’s, countless live performances, some memorable musical moments, and long lasting friendships.

I have also set up my own recording studio 'Ashwood Music Productions', and undertaken some of the recording, mixing and mastering duties for the bands I have been previously been involved with.

Through this process, I have been fortunate to have collaborated with some very talented local and international artists, which has furthered my songwriting and musical journey.
I enjoy the continual learning process of collaboration, as well as pursuing my own solo material.
