Bio
....News....... ..I finished recording my debut EP last year, which now looks like turning into an album! So hopefully it will be finished and released soon!.. ..I had the great pleasure of working with Garth Porter, who produced the songs at Rancom St Studios in Botany, and Ted Howard, who engineered, mixed and mastered the ep. I was also very lucky to have a fantastic band playing with me - John Watson on drums, ..Bill Risby.. on piano and Brendan Clarke on bass. We recorded the songs live - me, Bill, Brendan and John all in the same room. Usually the vocals are done in a separate room, but we wanted to try recording everything live and it worked out perfectly. The album as well as DVD will be available soon!More to come..... .. Bio: I'm a singer/songwriter from Bondi, though I'm not the beach type :) I started playing guitar and songwriting about 5 years ago, and I love it! After studying Philosophy at uni, I started a law degree but soon after I started songwriting and decided to do that instead. Since then, I've played at venues throughout Australia, including the Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre and I've toured the US, playing at venues in NY, NJ & Maryland. I'm also a 2008 CMAA Australian College of Country Music graduate (though I'm not too country...) and I was a Finalist in Toyota Star Maker 2008, Australia’s most successful and prestigeous country music talent search... .. .. .. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) .. .. .. .. ..
