I jumped on the drum kit over 30 years ago and never looked back. Since then, I’ve expanded into guitar and vocals, always chasing the feeling of being fully immersed in the music, whatever form that takes.
My influences cut across styles and genres, forged through years of playing in different bands, learning, experimenting, and creating along the way. Music has always been my escape from the everyday, a place where time disappears the moment I pick up an instrument, and the real rush hits when we step on stage.
Greenhorn has been a staple band, working alongside a diverse group of committed and talented people who make the ride even better.
Always loved music, wondering how the maestros did it, never thinking it was within my grasp.
So when the time was right to take a mature age plunge I jumped in the deep end eventually landing in Greenhorn, a great band with great principles & a huge amount of fun, paramount in my mind!
The growth & exposure has been amazing, mistakes/ successes it doesn't matter, I'm in for the long run & I'm loving the benefits!
Adelaide born, I've been playing bass guitar since my high-school days and have been in-and-out of many bands (Side Street, Black Label, Sudden Comfort naming a few).
My early influences were Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Status Quo & Rolling Stones but recently bands such as Powderfinger, Foo Fighters, Green Day & The Killers.
Throughout my years of numerous bands I still find myself unable to let it rest, and so here I'm still doin' it and pumping out those rock tunes...
I started out learning piano when I was young and stuck with it for about 10 years. Around 14, I picked up percussion in a brass band, and by 15 I’d started my first band. As a teenager, I spent most of my time playing covers and writing my own songs.
I moved from Japan to Sydney in 2007, and played drums for years in an original punk rock band. In 2017, I made the move to Adelaide and jumped in as the drummer for Greenhorn.
