SEEKING

ABOUT

Where do I start, picked up the bass at the age of 8 that was given to me buy my older brother who played in a cover band with my older sister back in NZ. Was wanting to play drums at the time but as soon as I heard that slap I never looked back from there. Played in numerous bands in NZ covers/originals and eventually moved to Australia 14yrs ago where I've played in many bands here in Brisbane. Am currently involved with a corporate band playing Motown, Funk and Soul but am always looking for work. I can also provide a drummer as well as a rhythm section that has plenty of experience playing together over the last 10yrs, you can check out the videos of us playing in different projects.
