Biography

I began studying the art of drums at 13 under Glenn Walsh in Western Australia. During my eight years with Glenn, I studied various styles of music (rock, punk, funk, jazz, Latin, reggae, and fusion), rudimentary practice, metronome practice, and reading and performance playing. In 2003, I completed a certificate IV in Music (performance) coupled with advanced tuition under Dennis Bird and renowned drummer Darryn Farrugia (Hey Hey It’s Saturday), focusing on reading skills, stylist playing, and honing my craft. 

Originally playing in punk bands as a teenager, I went on to forge an 18-year musical career recording, touring and teaching across Australia and overseas. During this time I performed in South Africa, London, Manchester, Cocos and Christmas Islands whilst also playing every major festival in Australia between 2009 and 2011. 

During my 18 years behind the kit I was fortunate to have performed alongside and recorded with the likes of Tim & Jean, John Bennett, The Lazy Calm, Dave Mann Collective, Yabu Band, You, Me and Ryan, Blue Shaddy, Djiva, Naomi Pigram, Bartlett Brothers, China Doll, Gina Williams, Candice Larrae, Willie Hona (The Herbs), Lauren Brede, Jae Laffer (The Panics), and Lucky Oceans (2x Grammy award winner) among many more.

Now residing on the north-west coast of Tasmania, I offer drum tuition coupled with studio, live and tour performance.
