ABOUT

Music has been a passion of mine since a child and I have extensive experience playing drums live over the years.

I have a Bachelors degree in Contemporary Music (drum major) from SCU Lismore, NSW (2002) and a Graduate Diploma in Music Education QUT (2008).

Through this degree I gained experience playing many genres including blues, funk, latin & jazz in both live and studio session environments.

Over the years since then I have been actively involved in playing drums with a variety of original & cover bands both in the studio and live.

In 2007 I decided to branch out musically and began my own personal study of songwriting and wrote a lot of my own songs in that time.

I also received vocal coaching, learned to sing and began playing live acoustic guitar solo covers at a local cafe over a couple of years.

I am able to provide back up vocals in a band environment.

In 2014 I toured Europe for 6 weeks with The Dunhill Blues as a fill in drummer. (Sydney, Off The Hip Records).

I'm 34 years old, single, no kids or professional work commitments, I keep my schedule open for gigs & rehearsals which are a priority commitment. I currently live in Brisbane, QLD, Australia
