About

A little bit about myself ....

 

From an early age, with two musicians for parents, there was no stopping me from being handed as many instruments as possible, practicing for hours and hours, until one of them stuck. My chosen instrument just happened to be the trumpet and back then it wasn't really the "coolest" instrument! Nevertheless I persevered and ended up landing a spot in the Sydney Olympic Games 2000 Marching Band. A true highlight of my career. Throughout the following years I enjoyed mixing up the trumpet with acoustic guitar and there found my passion for creating unique acoustic music and singing.  Following a move to the sunny Gold Coast, I started to play in Jam sessions with the late "Birdy" and also at Griffith Uni.

 

My love for travelling in 2011 took me to Japan where I performed trumpet regularly at the "Half Note Jazz Bar" whilst supporting Jazz bands and local musicians. 

 

For the last few years I have been performing regularly at venues such as:

Ripples Cafe

Palazzo Versace Hotel Gold Coast

Bangalow Pub

Vintage Velvet

Bine Bar

Grumpy's Bar & Grill

Palm Beach Surf Club

Coffee Sisters and more

 

Additionally, with weddings being extremely popular on the coast, I have performed at over 20 in the past 2 years.

 

I enjoy playing a range of genres including jazz, funk, acoustic rock, pop and folk. I cover a large range of Australian and International artists which include Paul Kelly, Curtis Mayfield, Matchbox Twenty, Pete Murray, Crowded House, Kings of Leon, Angus & Julia Stone, The Beatles, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Aloe Black, Ben Harper, Bob Marley, Diesel, Calvin Harris, Dave Gray, Foo Fighters, Foster the People, Jack Johnson, Michael Buble, Men at Work, Powderfinger, Tom Petty, U2 and many more. 

 

For all weddings I request a song list well in advance and am happy to learn any specific songs for the Bride and Groom that may not be in my normal set lists to ensure their special day is perfect. I also offer a basic DJ service for the last couple of hours of any reception to ensure the party kicks on.

 

I am passionate about music and thoroughly enjoy performing at any venue or event. I also ensure that my rates are and remain competitive in market. For all quotes and bookings please head to my contact page.
