I have been playing and writing since I was 10 years old. I formed two bands in Wellington (NZ) The Majic Roundabout and MOTA, before striking out on my own. I started playing guitar at 10, and I also play keyboards (piano and sequencing) sax, and harmonica. I specialize in steel-string acoustic guitar and my early songwriting with the Magic Roundabout writing psychedelic punk-pop-rock. My earliest band was a punk-rock outfit and after the Majic Roundabout broke up, I got back into playing in the classic four-piece format, with an emphasis on post-punk rock, still incorporating my earlier influences from The Majic Roundabout. After MOTA split, I realized that what I loved most about music was writing songs and producing them. Since then, I have been a "solo" artist, writing my material and producing it with Greg Haver and his studio musicians/producers, recording at Parachute Studios in Three Kings, Auckland New Zealand. I funded the album myself, all twelve tracks were recorded at Parachute, with Greg Haver Producing, Scott Seabright engineering, Clint Murphy mixing and Ryan Smith mastering. I wrote all 12 tracks, including the melodies, lyrics, and acoustic guitar parts, and of course, sang them. They were recorded in 2020 and 2021, and my influences include David Bowie, The Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, the material includes rock, jazz, alternative, country, and classical.
