My Music

Background

I've been playing, writing and mixing music for over 30 years. My first professional stint with music was with Equalizer Studios in Whanganui as an audio engineer. After that I moved to Palmerston North to study music. Whilst at music school I played bass in Jazz, Country, Rock and Reggae bands. After that I went to University. I thought I'd study Media and Communications so I could learn how to promote my music and learn English Literature so I could write better lyrics. To my surprise neither discipline were designed for those goals but I learnt lots of other things that got me passionate about learning.

Whilst at University I played a number of gigs around New Zealand and also recorded music with friends. These days I don't play as much but I do enjoy a jam with friends or a night out doing Karaoke.

My music style can vary a lot but I'm an 80s child so lots of my influences come from there. Here's a list of some of my favourite musos:

• Straitjacket Fits
• David Bowie
• Psychedelic Furs
• Thomas Dolby
• The Cure
• The Police
• Billy Idol
• Radiohead
• Muse
