Thank you

I am a Western Australia musician/producer living in Fremantle and I regularly perform at local venues and festivals. Incorporating elements as varied as Piedmont Blues, subtle Jazz, delta style blues, folk and even Indian ragas, my musical style has become somewhat more eclectic in recent years which could be probably more categorized as "world music". Live shows are a powerful showcase of these rootsy, earthy styles. My latest self produced album Frontline features acoustic and electric guitars, lap steel, harmonica, bass, vocals and keyboards. Drums and percussion are eloquently played by Dean Wuksta, an earlier member of the popular Western Australian outfit the Blue Shaddy Band.


Apart from my career in writing and performing I also produce my own work in my home studio.
For the technically minded I currently run Pro tools 8 on OSX with Great River and Universal Audio preamps, Daking compressor, RME Converters and Rode and Neumann microphones.
My key software plugs include McDsp Compressor Bank, Massey Plugs, Sonnox EQ, IK Ampeg SVX Bass, Albino 3 Synth, Digidesign Velvet and more.
My latest work, Frontline was produced over a period of about 12 months and can be found for purchase at my official website.

As a part of realizing the art of production I am also undertaking smaller recording projects of other local artists. Some of their videos can be found here in both hifi and lofi quality.

Coming soon to this channel will be a series of videos covering many aspects of composing, producing and playing so stay tuned or subscribe and be notified as soon as a new video is added.

Thanks for you time guys n gals and happy playing.
