“I like to sing about the battle of fear versus love. Or, if you like, the ego versus the soul. Something happened at around age 26. I’d been singing in bands from the age of fourteen and performing regularly at local hotels in Victoria doing what I loved. When all of a sudden I got scared it was leading no-where. Scared I wouldn’t be able to support my family. So I took the more standard road and I got responsible. And lived a miserable life doing jobs I wasn’t passionate about for the next decade. Now, after teaching myself guitar, I’m back writing, performing and smiling more. And will probably do so til I die. (Here’s hoping that’s a ways off).”
