Born in Katoomba Hospital in 82. Started music when I was 5. Studied the Suzuki method till I finished my grades. At 8, would sit on my piano stool and look out the window and wish I was outside swinging from one of the branches of our apple tree, pretending I was Robin Hood. But... I was inside. Doing my piano practice.
Left school at 17 to work in the family business of painting. Until I spotted an old piano inside one of the cafes I would frequent up here in the mountains. I asked if anyone played it. No one did. It just sat their collecting newspapers that others would put on top of the keys.. That's when I first started playing outside of home.
I cant really tell you when I first started writing, or when I did what I was writing about. I cant really explain why I see things so differently sometimes, or how from the air around me, I grab what I can and express it through the music I write. Each song that I write has a different meaning, which is what is usual with any artist. But there is always a central theme that carries through.. And for me, with the music that I write, I play because I am punch love drunk.
I see possibilities, which I want to take.. knowing that today will never come again. If you went into the city and saw someone you thought you recognized... would you say hello? Or would you walk on by...? Simple choices that can change life forever. Until.. I am punch drunk loved.

15/11/2010So I just finished the support for iNGRID Michaelson.
Played the Clarendon on the 10 / 11/ 2010 and then last night on the 14 / 10 / 2010 at the Corner Hotel.
This was a little different as I supported her playing my guitar and singing my songs that I had written.
Singing is very different to just playing piano. Singing is the part that can shake and loosen your nerves. If not prepared properly that is.
The Clarendon gig was good, however the Corner Hotel in Melbourne last night was so special. It was amazing.
My first gig in Melbourne, what a way to start. At the corner.
So it can actually quite realistically happen. In the space of 4 weeks, Ive had my first tune [ your the one / Mc Shureshock ] that I wrote with Laurie Rissman and Cameron Brown
get signed to ONE LOVE records and Inertia Records.
Our clip for the tune has been released on youtube and have started working on a new clip for the remixes ! The clip is going onto RAGE [ABC ] and hopefully Channel V and MTV !
Also been given the green light for Big Day Out and supported a mega star of the music world Ingrid Michaelson.
Im pretty happy with my acheivements of late.
Soon is the re-mixes album. Cant wait for that. And to get that released !
Looking forward to my next blog.
Are you ?
Of course you are ...
ps, have the feeling in my self that the music to come is going to my best yet.. I love this feeling:]
