I'm passionate about music and have been for a long time. I enjoy playing a lot of different styles, blues, jazz, soul, rock & hip hop but what really gets my heart pumping is drum & bass and modern minimal post dubstep electro grooves. I primarily compose beats, play bass/guitar and beat box but can jam away on anything that makes noise, trumpet, keys, drums, synths, vocals & percussion & I've been doing live sound/recording for ten or so years. I enjoy art especially installations and sculpture. I am spiritual but not religious. I enjoy supporting other artists and putting on shows. I am excited about innovators in any field!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I am looking to travel the world performing, recording and collaborating with as any wonderful people as possible. I would hope to exchange recording facilities/ability with people for a place to stay while I'm on the road =) I aim to return to NZ in ten years with at least ten recorded albulms of people I've met along the journey.
