About me:

Been a fan of PanterA since 1992. Saw PanterA and Biohazard play on September 16, 1996 at Festival Hall, Brisbane. Met PanterA, shook Phil Anselmo's hand, spoke with Phil, Dimebag, Rex and Vinnie Paul the day after the Trendkill concert on 17 September, 1996 at the HMV Brisbane City store record signing. That memory cannot be beaten.

I have been developing my Solo Music Project and Sound Concept Studio, Pentagonal Prison, as an independent, self-produced, multi-genre, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter since early 2008. I play standard B flat and piccolo trumpet (classically trained for ten years with a background in jazz, rock, contemporary, brass ensemble, orchestral playing), bass guitar, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, sing, voice act, design and engineer my own sound effects and write / program my own drum arrangements. I handle all of my own sound recording, mixing and mastering plus instrument and hardware repairs.

In 2008, I wrote my first 13 demo tracks and I'm in the process of rewriting, re-recording and mixing as I edge closer to compiling and releasing my debut CD spanning nine genres.

Enjoy graphic design a lot and have explored a variety of mediums and subjects including skateboards, logos and t-shirts like the design above. I am proficient in InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and the like. For many years, I was a traditional artist and sculpted, painted, airbrushed, sketched and drew with charcoal. I have 3D modeled, texturemapped and web designed over the years.
