Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him

I grew up in a family of musos and dancers so music is in my blood. I started learning guitar when I was 10 years old, around the same time my brother and I started learning to dj using tape recorders in our garage. This passion grew and we moved onto cd walkmans and then some pitch controlled cdj type players, eventually we managed to get some turntables and for the next 10years we were the resident dj's in our town.

After spending my younger years playing guitar, djembe drums and DJing there was a period where normal day to day work took over and music took a back seat. In 2021 I decided I want to start making music again, in particular I started with EDM music. Once I started making that first beat I found that the passion that I had for making music in my younger days returned and I just wanted to make more music  and put it out into the world so that I could share this passion with everyone. 

Growing up around the ocean and spending 20 years working on the ocean I have a passion and a connection with the ocean. My Father God has blessed me by allowing this passion to be my inspiration behind a lot of my songs. The beauty, power, unpredictability, constant motion and pretty much everything else about the ocean drives me to want to make music that has a lot of these elements in the music. 

My cover art is created by teh greatest atrtist there ever was, Jesus, all I do is capture the beauty of what is in front of me and share it with you, head to the photos tab to see the full pics that the cover art came from.

December 2025 Update - I got my first ever electric guitar in October and I released my debut guitar EP, you can check it out in the music section.  This was only the first month of discovering the guitar so stick around as I grow with this instrument and discover my sound.
