I began playing drums at a very early age, inspired by my dad and two elder brothers who also played. I did my first gigs with my dad in a jazz band at age 12 and by the age of 16, I was playing in numerous bands in my home town of Adelaide, South Australia. Currently, my main gig is with The Zep Boys / Led Zeppelin Masters. We perform all over Australia and weve just completed a 17 date European / UK tour where we played with a 35 piece orchestra, at some of the most iconic venues in the UK, including The Hammersmith Odeon. Im also involved in a project called The Hindley Street Country Club, which takes some of Adelaides most accomplished players and puts them in a room to record a re-imagined cover tune in just a few hours. Its all done live, filmed and uploaded to YouTube.
