How old where you when you started playing the guitar?
I was 13 years old. My uncle Frazer was a muso and surfer, he had a 1960's rickenbacker that I used to drool over and a couple of old acoustics, one of which he gave me. He taught me a few chords the easiest being e major and e minor, I would play these chords over and over and over for hours, until my fingers were severly blistered.

When did you move to the U.S from Australia?

Have you ever met a kangaroo?
Yes. My mum took me to a kangaroo park in Brisbane when I was just a sprout with a blonde fluffy wig-do, you get to hand feed ‘em, they are pretty laid back as you can imagine, you'd be a fat lazy bastard too if someone hand fed you and scratched your belly all day long. The wild ones are knarley, they box eachother, they could kick your ass and some of them stand 6 feet tall. I 've eaten roo, although I'm not much a fan, tastes like poo mix with bush (as in the Australian countryside), it's a bit gamey for me and tough to chew, I don't eat much meat these days anyways.
Who are you biggest musical influences?
