About this user

Born in Benalla Victoria and raised in South Australia, Champs is Australia's leading writer of AFL and cricket songs, with several Aussie Rules hit songs since the 1980s. His musical diversity however, extends beyond the sports fields to include more moving and descriptive pieces capturing the emotion of Australian life in the way John Williamson, Eric Bogle and Ted Egan are renowned for.

Growing up in Adelaide, Champs moved to Melbourne, Victoria in 1979, by 1980 he had met with success and his career took off as front man with ground-breaking Melbourne rock band The Fabulaires, and The Young Homebuyers, performing with Australian legends Wayne Burt (Black Sorrows, JoJo Zep), JJ Hackett (Stars, Mondo Rock) and later in the 80s with Wayne Duncan and Ross Hannaford, both of Daddy Cool.

Champs' rise to national prominence first came through his work on the radio, in 1983 he drifted into radio with the now legendary program, The Coodabeen Champs, an institution on commercial and ABC radio for an amazing twenty-nine years.

In parallel to his parody and comedy work as a well known radio personality and entertainer, Champs established himself as a talented song writer and in 1985 released a single, I Made a 100 In The Backyard At Mum's which was subsequently included as the leading track on an Australia All Over album, with ABC's Ian McNamara "Macca", that sold over 150,000 copies. In 1994, Channel 7 took up his anthem 'That's The Thing About Football' as a theme for their AFL broadcasts over several years.

Meanwhile Champs continues to pursue his career in the Aussie Country Music and Folk scenes as a leading Australiana song writer and musician recognised within the Country/Folk industry receiving several key industry awards and nominations. Forging his own distinctive path through the Australian musical landscape, its been said of Champs that he has contributed to the fabric of Australian culture.
