The Story:

I started with guitar lessons in boarding school. My best friend at the time was playing drums. I started knocking around and just like that I was hooked. I played in a couple school productions but it was after school that I played in a garage band called Pumpkin Choir. There was no vocalist but we didn't care. We just did Metallica and Rage covers. A few years later, I joined a Durban band called Waverley. I had an awesome time with the band. Waverley split up because Dom (vocalist & song writer) moved to NZ. After floating around for a few months, SITTER called me up and adopted me. I’ve just completed an album with the band and I must say it’s an album I’ll always be proud of. The band and all the crazy adventures around the world, has just been freakin cool. I’m hooked..!!!!
