About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To bring groovy music to the world, and watch it dance.

ABOUT ME

I'm half of the Nomadic Jungle Funk Duo named AOTEAROA.
With three consecutive years of nonstop American gigs I'm overseas with the love of my life adventuring and hunting down that old lifespark.

PHILOSOPHY

If you look long enough, there's always something to smile about.
Keep looking.
