Music has been in my veins since the earliest days of my African childhood, and I was brought up with tribal rhythms as an everyday soundtrack to my life. My father's love of jazz, brass and big band music also soaked in. And my travels to 75 countries have served to further infuse me with a gumbo soup of world music. Sounds and ideas without borders.

​

I've played in a bunch of bands you never heard of, including The Eggbeats, Sunday Drivers, and The Steaming Latrines.(The background pic here is playing with guitarist Joe Cummins and the Heart band at CheckInn 99, Bangkok.)

 

These days, even as I toy around with a couple of side projects The High Priests of Harare (Afro-Latin world fusion), and The Saigon Cowboys (country rock with a twist), I consider more a songwriter than a performer. 

 

I've written somewhere around 200 songs (many more if you count the box of songs and snippets I lost in a car fire). I was lucky to be signed by Warner Publishing in 1997 but it's fair to say I have commercially underachieved to date. But the next song is always going to be the best one, the big breakthrough! Right?

​

​Below is a small selection of song demos which I'm happy for artists to consider using. I'm also very happy to talk about collaborating with musicians, locally or internationally, because I have a million lyric and melody ideas I'd love to explore further to bring them to life.

You can read about my relationship with music in my book, Carnival of Confusion. Or if Oz Rock is more your speed, try my offical biography of chart-toppers Mental as Anything.
