Most stories begin at the start. Mine, however, begins somewhere in the middle. I am from Australia, and things are done a little differently there……….I am a songwriter/singer in my 20’s, born and raised in the city of Melbourne. I have just recently moved to Los Angeles and finished recording my debut record, but I won’t jump too far ahead yet, as the story of my great love of music was no sudden epiphany. My earliest childhood memories are of my mother blasting Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and The Beatles, and my father with his Maria Callas arias and other classical music he would play. Sound confusing? Probably, but for my sister and me, sitting around the piano singing show tunes with “Opera Dad” was a regular occurrence, followed shortly by sitting with my Mum and watching 20 minutes of concert footage of Hendrix, awaiting the “best guitar solo ever played”, according to her. As crazy as it was, I guess it all went in subconsciously, because as soon as I considered myself old enough, I started booking myself into clubs with a guitarist and playing gigs.
