My original music has been described as the most important sound to come out of Australia. Sir Paul McCartney agreed, adding my song, An Emergency, to his prestigious MPL Publishing catalogue in New York.
My goal is to create state-of-the-heart productions that stand the test of time; think original music with an extended warranty. I’m seeking the shelf-life of denim, not yoghurt; no flavours of the month that last a month. I’m making records here - an historical recording of the definitive version of the song. It’s as much about archaeology as it is about music.
In terms of my process, I follow only one golden rule - to serve the song and nothing else. I let the song dictate everything that follows: the arrangement, the performance, the production, the tempo, lyrics, sound, and the final mix.
I’ve been fortunate to have been mentored by Oscar and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum US producer, Scott Mathews (of Bowie, Brian Wilson, Clapton, Stones, Orbison, Cash, Snoop Dogg, Santana, Beach Boys, Isaak, Satriani, Costello, Morrison fame). I continue to be recognized in songwriting awards, including as a Finalist in the Australian Music Awards and the Great American Song Contest.
