Influences

My foundations are firmly rooted in classic rock having grown up listening to bands such as AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Police, Guns N’ Roses and Cold Chisel. While rock remains a core influence, I also enjoy exploring funk blues and groove-based styles which has helped broaden my feel rhythm and versatility as a player.

EQUIPMENT

I play through a Vox AC15 and a Fender solid-state amplifier and use two Fender Stratocaster guitars. My professional pedalboard includes an MXR Delay, Ibanez Flanger, Danelectro Chorus, RAT distortion, Blues Driver overdrive, NUX Plexi Crunch and a PolyTune tuner. This setup allows me to shape a wide range of tones suitable for both rhythm and lead work across multiple genres.
