Hi all, my respect to the Wurundjeri people on whose land I work.
I’m not into covers - unless they are special - and then I love them ????. I love to compose, jam and improvise to find great musical feelings and have had the luck to play and write with some really creative and sometimes unusual bands in Europe and Australia in the past. I’m looking to jam with players or vocalists who don’t like to be boxed in and who are into mixing up influences, creating music that feels like an experience. I love a great film score where you never know what style of music is going to be played - but it always strengthens the story.
Happy to chat or exchange mixtapes with anyone, any age, any instrument.
