Profile
I am a guitarist, composer, educator and bandleader from Adelaide, South Australia. I started performing and working professionally at the age of 14 and honed my skills throughout high school and university. As well as being one of Adelaide’s in-demand guitarists, I have toured Australia many times performing music. In 2023 I released my debut album Vessels and in July 2024 I relocated to Melbourne, Victoria for more opportunities. I have performed on stage with James Muller, Mat Jodrell, Julien Wilson, Barney McAll and Sam Anning. More recently, in Melbourne, I have become involved in the 'Mad Vantage' project with Solune and with Joel Trigg's band, recently performing with both at the Brunswick Ballroom. |
