I’m originally from Adelaide in South Australia – a little city with a small town vibe. I was a drummer from birth thanks to my father’s genes. He's been a drummer in rock’n roll bands since I can remember. My first guitar came to me at age fifteen. It was a cheap electric Hondo that went out of tune all the time, but it came with a home made amp from a guy in my Dad’s band. It had a great natural warm fuzz when I cranked it.

I spent many weekends and nights jamming on the old "Hondo-matic" to stuff I liked at the time: Nirvana, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chilly Peppers, Hendrix, The Breeders, The Cure, The Beatles and Bob Marley and the Wailers to name but a few.

I moved to London after Uni where I bought a cheap acoustic guitar and began writing songs. I liked some of the stuff I was jamming on, so I borrowed my housemate’s dictaphone and began recording songs. I opened up Pandora’s box with that cheap ass acoustic guitar and dictaphone. I learned how good it felt to express my-self through music: my fears, joys, and frustrations, stories of my experiences inside and out. This was a turning point for me musically and things were never going to be the same.
