About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To cast the One Ring into the fires of Mordor and save Middle Earth from the torturous grip of Lord Sauron.

ABOUT ME

I don't mean to be the cliché travelling musician guy but...

I produce, compose, perform and love listening to music. Have a look:

I used to busk (street perform) for a living when I was younger, and it made me more money than any other full time job I have had since. I have also played in cafe's clubs and pubs in Australia and around Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

I have promised myself to do the most interesting or productive thing each and every moment has to offer.

This has led to most of the "Amazing Thing(s) Done/Seen"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently travelling around Europe.
I will couch surf as much as possible because so far, my couch surfing experiences have led me to meet some of the best people I will ever know. I think that the people who walk through these cities and see the sites without taking a second look must be far more interesting than the sites themselves.

I am glad to share any of my music with any of my hosts. All of my hosts have become fans of my music so far which I am really happy about!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far all of my hosts have taken the time to spend time with me and chat with me, as opposed to just being somewhere for me to stay. I am not looking just for somewhere to stay, I would much prefer to get to know my host very well because it helps both myself and my host learn about another culture and I believe that my host would deserve that respect.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Supported myself in France and England by playing performing.

Had a drink and a chat with Busy P (Manager of Daft Punk & Ed banger Records) & Gaspard Auge (Justice †)

Performed at Sacré Coeur Cathedral on top of Paris in Montmartre

Stole a giant Slurpie Cup (Slushy, Slush Puppy, Icey, Verre de Glasson...) big enough to fit a person in

Teach, Learn, Share

When tomorrow is certain, today is unnecessary.
When one lives ones life like a constant habit, an involuntary action, then one ceases to think. Life becomes an involuntary reflex. A breath of air that no one will ever witness; one thing consumed and another produced. A heartbeat whose purpose was no more than to happen.
Remove consistency, and one's very being becomes an expression of art.
Make tomorrow uncertain.
