I draw inspiration from many things and many different people. But life itself is the biggest inspiration of all. Somtimes it seems too hard to face the new day, but evntually i will be inspired by that emotion.
Music for me is air. It is waking to a new sunny day with a slightly cool breeze, it is breathing, and living. Without it i would be hollow, it is my outlet, my best friend, at times, my worst enemy, but it is me.
I feel a new sense of freedom having the inernet. Is that strange? Maybe so but thats ok. I think it gives independant/unsigned artists (such as myself) such a great outlet for sharing their creativity and dreams. And it can build dreams. Having the internet is important to me because i can share my latest song, or my latest ground breaking thought with the world!
I work hard, i study hard, i play hard, but i love hard in return. I love life and having this pure and simple gift of music. I am thankful it comes relatively easy to me.
Being on stage, performing, always has and i honestly think always will feel like home to me. No matter if its in a little cafe performing for people while they enjoy their day or night off, or if its a big show, playing for people who actually want to be there listening to my song. It makes me whole. It makes me smile.
So for now this is my attempt at writing a new bio. I hope it satisfies the need to get a glimpse into my heart, soul and mind.
keep smiling xo
Why this name?
i didnt, my father chose my name lol
Do you play live?
Playing live is one of the best feeling a person can feel, especially if you get good feedback to your own material. To me there is nothing better than getting up on stage and performing. It feels like home to me.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has opened the gateways for unsigned artists such as myself. It is a great way to learn of new talent. As long as everything is fair then i have no problems with it. (do not steal music people!)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
thats hard to say, right now in this moment in my life, id say no and yes, i would prefer an independent label, but if the major label was offering a contract that was right for as an artist then i would get it reviewed by a lawyer (a good one) and then decide where to go from there.
Band History:
I have been singing my entire life, i cannot remember a stage where i wasnt singing! It has always been a part of me, and i think it has shaped who i am today. I started playing guitar at about 14, and writing seriously at about 15. The rest is history!
Your influences?
I have such a varied musical influence. Different bands and artists inspire me in different ways. From Hanson to The Used, there are way too many amazing musicians to name them all.
Favorite spot?
that would be melbourne, my home.
Equipment used:
just my guitar, leads, amps, mics etc the usual.
Anything else...?
Sit back, have a listen! All feedback welcome! <3
