Have you performed in front of an audience?
Usually at the seminars I lead around South Africa, and at large worship events. I love doing it!!!
Your musical influences
Love acoustic stuff with a folky feel. Artists like Janis Ian, Jim Croce and Bread were my early influences. Now working on developing more of a Rock sound (a la Matt Redman etc).
What equipment do you use?
A Garrison G30-12-CE, 12 string and a Seagull S6 six-string. Also a Roland RD 300-sx Digital Piano.
