Alice Cooper in support of Motley Crue on their final tour. The musicianship and prowess of all the musicians pushes me to aspire to become a session musician.

Being on a week-long tour of japan. We played four sold out shows in three major cities and the reception was unbelievable.

Name a song that is your guilty pleasure?
All Too Well - Taylor Swift, actually there's quite a few Tay-Tay songs but shhh.
Interests and hobbies apart from music?
Is there life outside of music? I like being out in nature, the beach, bush walks etc. and I am an avid Sydney Swans supporter.
What's you hidden talent?
I love organic/analytical chemistry and have a degree in Forensic Science.
