a little background

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I was born in South Africa, in 1968. My family and I came to Melbourne in 1980. I learned several instruments in my youth but then focussed on the piano and singing and eventually began writing songs. When I was 18 I started working as a solo musician playing piano bars, cafes and private parties. Later on I started playing with other outfits and even did a full time year as Benny in the well-known ABBA tribute band BABBA!

I recorded my first full length album Working Man in 2004 and played several shows featuring those songs.

After forming a jazz trio, the Dukes of Debonaire my writing started to incorporate some improvisational flavours and eventually the '“Be Yourself” Album was written in 2007. I did numerous shows featuring those songs in and around Melbourne venues including places like Manchester Lane and the Paris Cat in the city.

I still love to play, write and perform whenever I can and have now developed a new show that you might love if you are holding an event.

LATEST NEWS - full house @ kindred!

My latest show was to a full house at Kindred studios in Yarraville. It was an intimate concert-style show featuring originals and some carefully chosen covers. I was joined by my great friend and long-time collaborator Dale McMahon.

Standby for more to come…. it is on the way…
