I used to play along to lots of blues; Stevie Ray Vaughan, Hendrix and Dire Straits, but also wrote lots about my reflective mind and how it all feels...I realised my lyrics and songwriting were far more cryptic and dreamy, so the two worlds are still slowly coming together. Playing live has been great way for me to develop my sound, I think it quickly forces you to learn about your strengths and weaknesses as a songwriter. 

 

Self reflection, visual texture and the chance to empower people the same ways in which I have been through song.

 

Spooky falsetto, lots of guitar and a wall of harmonies.

 

Whilst it's important to stay open minded and creative, make sure you're writing music that is true to yourself because it will always be the  most authentic and sincere - Mark Myers.

 

'Blood' by The Middle East, for finding the beauty in sadness.

 

'World Of Sun' by Stolen Violin.

 

'Down Under' by Men At Work.

 

I went to see Jesse Davidson play over Halloween, shit got weird. There were crayons, vodka, I think I even lost my wallet...He's a bad influence.

 

There's a fast-growing sense of community in the young Adelaide music scene, with the likes of Bad//Dreems, T-Kay and Jesse Davidson doing particularly great things. It's a super inspiring time in general to be based down South, there's a definite buzz.

 

I'll finish off 2014 on the East Coast, touring the new single around Festival Of The Sun. The new EP will drop early in 2015 too, just in time for WOMADelaide. Amongst some more touring, hopefully I can sneak in some more songwriting. A film clip would be nice too.
