ABOUT

I have been playing professionally for 30+ years in bands, duo's and as a soloist for the past 8 years. Back in the 90's and 2000's I was very lucky to back up some of the biggest Australian and International bands and soloist, such as Dragon, Jimmy Barnes, John Diesel, Baby Animals, 60's singer Dion, Chubby Checker, Gary Puckett and the union gap, The Platters, Cliff Richard, Little River Band and so on.

I've been creating my own backing tracks since the 1990's, and I'm currently creating them via the Native Instruments Kontrol software and I use the latest version of Logic Pro on my Mac for all my sequences and audio.
I haven't been playing lately due to the birth of my 2 special grand children, however, I would like to start to get back into playing live as well as continuing recording via my small home studio.
