I am a musician/songwriter from Melbourne, Australia. I have played guitar and performed vocals on several full length albums with various bands. My main project at the moment is The Eternal, we are about to release our third album 'Kartika'.
I have made guest appearances on various albums including my most recent, contributing vocals on the album ‘Madre, Protégenos’ by renowned English songwriter Duncan Patterson.
I have been involved in extensive touring throughout Australia, Asia, Europe, Mexico, Canada & America. In Australia The Eternal has supported international acts such as Swedish progressive metal band Opeth and Finnish rock band HIM. We have also completed several Australian tours & two international tours since the release of our first album back in 2004.
In April 2006 I was given an endorsement deal with ESP guitars & Dean Markley Strings.
Other projects I am involved with at the moment include; the second InSomnius Dei album, the new ION album and some material that I hope will come together as my first solo album. I will be featuring songs for my various projects on this page, so I hope you enjoy what you hear.
