deep focus
I am having a blast with my band Deep Focus. We recently won 3 x 'Battle of the Bands': Riverview, St Josephs and ShoreComp (Ryde), and were invited to play at ShoreShocked Festival alongside Aussie legends Beddy Rays and The Rions.
We also recorded an EP with award-winning UK producer Paul Beard (Robbie Williams, James Blunt, Lily Allen). The first 2 tracks are now streaming, with 3 more to come out shortly.
We write about life, love, relationships, mental health, and everything in between - check out our website...

HSC PIECES
I will be performing 6 pieces for my HSC exams later in 2023. Each song presented me with a different technical challenge, and really stretched my comfort zone.
Here are 3 that I played live for a panel of examiners to get their feedback on my progress.

Bloodstream by Ed Sheeran
I used the loop pedal to build a vocal and guitar layered landscape.

Brother by Matt Corby
Matt is arguably the best singer and guitarist in Australia right now.
This song has a massive vocal range and very technical rhythm guitar.

Nature Boy by Kurt Elling
I have never sung jazz before, so way out of my comfort zone - but how good is the band!

SEE YOU AGAIN
I wrote this song for The Four Angels who tragically died in Sydney on February 1, 2020. I knew the children, so it was very personal.
After my home video got over 8,000 views on YouTube, a radio version of See You Again was re-recorded at Brazen Lot Studios and produced by Dave Goode of the Potbelleez.
