I need adventure. I recently travelled through over 30 different states around the USA on tour, playing in bars, cafes, venues and on the streets for tips and petrol money. I recorded my debut album over two months in Michigan, while staying with generous people I met on the road. I'm not satisfied with the mediocre. I need to be moving forward. I have fronted a number of projects including Romeo on Demand, Falling Short and Strong Like Sam and am now performing under the moniker The Burley Griffin, sharing the stage with many friends, old and new.

I grew up in Canberra and was home schooled, which lead to me spending 5 hours a day practising guitar and writing songs, and several more hours reading. As a consequence, I have grown as a powerful and literate poet and lyricist and an engaging and emotive songwriter/guitarist.
