Welcome to my website.

Here you’ll find information on all aspects of my professional music career.

For nearly fifty years I’ve been passionate about music, having spent most of my life learning and refining my craft.

I am a keyboard/vocalist and have been performing in venues around Australia for forty years.

I also specialise in digital audio recording and have been recording performers and artists for thirty years.

I have been involved in various aspects of music education for most of my career, teaching piano, singing and technology.

I started recording in the late 1970s when I used to connect two top loading cassette decks and recorded from one to the other, adding tracks each time until the hiss became unbearable!

From there, I progressed to 4-track Portastudios, then to computers. I opened Townsville’s first all-digital studio in the early 2000s and since then have continued to follow the advances in recording technology, and now use world class recording equipment. I made the studio completely mobile in 2021.

I specialise in recording solos, duos and bands in the genres of rock, pop, folk and indie. The studio has experience in corporate audio recording and restoration as well as in engineering and mix down of outside projects.

My recording career also involves writing and recording my own original music. For more information about my original music, click here.

Performing live is in my blood. In the beginning it was all desire and little ability, but over the past forty years I have managed to mould myself into someone who loves to sing and play piano.

From long periods working residencies, to weddings, hotels, corporate and private functions, I have built my solo career into one that is known and respected in all areas I perform in.

As well as my solo career, I am a member of the duo Riptide who perform in the Townsville area. Click here for more information about Riptide Duo.

I started a community singing group in 2023 called Sip&Sing. This is a group karaoke choir who meet twice a month at the West End Hotel in Townsville and is aimed at people who love karaoke, but may be too shy to sing alone into a microphone. Click here for more information about Sip&Sing.
