My work navigates modern jazz, crossover jazz with Eastern influences, and Latin styles. My guitar skills are in both pick and finger style. I have performed as featured artist in Australia, South Asia, the Far East, South Africa, and Europe.

 

My early career teachers include George Adie, Charlie Banacos, Pat Martino, and Mike Stern. I have performed with many fine players such as Don Burrows, Matt McMahon, Joe Chindamo, David Jones, Dale Barlow, and Sandip Chatterjee as well as guitarists such as Slava Gryrigorian, Martin Taylor, Mike Stern, and Vishwa Mohan Bhatt.

 

I was a recipient of an Australian Arts Council Music Fellowship to study, compose, and perform in Europe, USA, India, and Australia. I have received a Jazz APRA (Australian Performing Rights Award - like ASCAP), two Jazz APRA Nominations, a Jazz AIR Nomination (Australian Independent Recording), and an IAP Nomination (Indie Acoustic Project USA) for the crossover jazz album "Calcutta Express". I have recorded several albums of my original music on labels such as ABC Jazz, Birdland, and Underscore.

 

I teach guitar, musicianship, improvisation, and lecture Western classical and jazz harmony. I am an active performer and composer.
