About Me

Outgoing, friendly, love meeting new people and travelling, most of my life revolves around working with, playing or listening to music.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love many films, books, artists, musicians, creators, creatives, dynamic and passionate individuals and collectives.
A majority of my professional life so far has been spent working with musicians from every background, from Opera, to Theatre, to Rock, Pop, Industrial, Folk, Techno, Klezmer and so on... Thus my musical tastes have followed them also.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Angkor Wat, simply breathtaking, literally, at 40°C and 100% humidity! Probably the best thing I've ever done however, is deciding to move to London and meeting Joanna. My life has become far richer than any job or amount of money ever could from my attitude and the choices I make, and it just gets better.

Teach, Learn, Share

A lot to share from years of anything audio, live performance, poetry, love, life, universe-based.
Many adventures and tales from around the world. Always keen to share and learn from anyone myself, so exchanging the favour always interests me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch in a communal-minded, loving home in Melbourne's northern suburbs. I love a good laugh, particularly at terrible dad jokes and puns. If there are instruments I'm always down for a jam, but sometimes just sitting with people can be great also. I love sharing stories, poetry, music, art, experiences... life!
