How it all began...

I worked with a successful Australian band and we were fortunate enough to be invited to tour overseas. One of those places was Germany where I ended up living for a while and collaborated with many big names including Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk, Hans Nieswandt, and some guys from Clannad.

In the works...

Currently on high rotation on Paris Radio! Also just collaborated with Ferry Corsten on a track called "Black Velvet". (He's no. 6 DJ in the world..)

Meantime, working on my 3rd solo album with MOD X in Paris.

Also very interested in writing music for Film and musicals.

Down the road...

Love to tour live again soon....

About me in general...

Passionate about music.. love people.. look after the environment.. look after myself.. love to help others.

BIg question... I'm a libran.. can never decide! will get back to this one..
