I'm a working drummer and session musician hailing from Sydney, Australia. i have over 18 years of experience behind the kit and i've played on stages all across Australia (and the USA) in a myriad of different styles ranging from rock, country, pop and r&b, to funk, jazz-fusion and big band jazz.
I can play any style of music at a professional level, I can sight read any chart and i can sing harmonies and backing vocals too. I'm also a drum teacher and educator, with nearly 5 years of experience teaching kids how to play the drums.
I recently graduated from JMC Academy with a Bachelors Degree in Contemporary Music Performance - Drums & Percussion, after studying under one of Sydney's best drummers; Andy Horvath, as well as renowned session guitarist; Travis New, and Bassist Extraordinaire; Phil Scorgie
