Online CV

I have been a music enthusiast since a young age. At the age of 5, I remember listening to Under The Bridge by The Red Hot Chili Peppers almost every night with my elder brother, and falling in love with it. My brother was a major influence in the music I listened to, and he introduced me to my still favourite artist Radiohead around the time of The Bends.

When a close childhood friend started playing the guitar, he would come over often to record things he'd come up with on Cool Edit. It was then, that I knew I had a desire to work in music, and I decided to take up the guitar, at 17 years.

I studied both music business and technology at TAFE in Newcastle, NSW, Australia and learned a lot of things about how the music industry works.

My major goal is to become the House Engineer for a reputable studio and record and mix music, helping bands get their music out there.
