Hi, thanks for visiting my website.
I have over 30 years of experience recording, gigging, writing and teaching music in Australia, New Zealand, Los Angeles, New York and many other places in the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, England, Russia, Italy and Switzerland. I play Jazz, R&B, Rock, Funk, Blues, Reggae... well, pretty much anything, and a bit of classical music. Small clubs, stadiums, theatres, TV and recording studios. I'm very grateful to have had so many wonderful experiences, learning from and playing with some of the best musicians, singers and artists in the world.
