G'day mate! How're ya goin'? Welcome to my place.

I am a New Zealander and an Australian, now living in North Carolina, USA. I travel the planet singing and acting out my stories in sounds that come from Down Under and experiences from all over the world. My influences include: Celtic, African, South Pacific, modern American folk, French... styles ranging from ballads to contemporary folk rock, worship anthems, laments and well, just unique ideas. I am wired to make social commentary, asking questions to make us think. My new album, "Compendium" is out now! Enjoy!
