SEEKING

ABOUT

I’m a dad as first priority closely followed by working within a career I love as a train driver but also very passionate about fitness and music.

I’ve been a drummer since I was around 12 years old and since the day of picking up sticks been in and out of bands ever since.

My background has predominantly been playing within rock, punk, hardcore and metal bands. I’ve toured around Australia several times and even overseas in one band along with recorded many times.

I’m looking for other family orientated musicians looking to relive their passion for music and put something fun and special together - no pressure for weekly rehearsals or gigs etc just go with the filo and let whatever happens happen.

I’m a shift worker and share care of my daughter so my availability varies from week to week.

Local connections only (Gold Coast) - open to remote collaborations if the right thing pops up.
