Biography:

Started on Piano at age six, crossing over to guitar as preferred instrument aged 12. I grew up performing live in the Gold Coast and Brisbane pub scene. My experience includes tours throughout Queensland in a computer based trio and five piece hard rock band. Also co-wrote the original jingle for 'KIRRASURF', a large surf wear and board outlet on the Gold Coast, with 'Tony Meehan' from 'Cliff Richard & The Shadows'. Tracks from my very 1st original guitar instrumental album 'Riffhanger' were used for surfing segments on 'Brownies Coastwatch', a beach report T.V. show, and backing for Gold Coast Tourism Promotional Video. In 2002-2003 I recorded an album with my duo 'Elopium', called 'Impaled' which was offered a distribution deal in Texas, U.S.A. Several songs were entered in song competitions to 'MakeAStar.com' and all advanced through with one making the quarter finals and another the semi finals, being pipped at the post by a few votes. I am a member of 'APRA' (Australian Performers Rights Association). Session guitar work and co-writing with other musicians has given me enhanced composing ability in the Rock, Pop and other genres. My tastes are broad. I have tutored for 'Hanlen's Music School' and privately. Running a 'Creamware Pulsar' based Project Studio added to my production capabilities. Now I record using 'Cakewalk SONAR' with a huge library of 'VST/VSTi' and 'DX/DXi' plugins. I'm a big fan of 'ENGL' amplifiers and Strat based guitars, mainly 'Ibanez', and 'Fender' models.

2009 has seen the release of 'ALIEN 8 YOURSELF', a guitar instrumental hybrid, shred, rock, electronica album collaborating with very talented guitarists world wide. (Check them out - see slide show on my myspace site). I have been in the top 100 nominees for best new talent with 'Internet Radio Magazine' and also ran in a successful WINDOWS promotion with one of my guitar instrumentals. Known to be a prolific songwriter by close friends, there is lots more coming!
