I’ve been hooked on the guitar since my first lesson as a 9 year old - it became a lifelong passion that continues to inspire me. I started writing songs and formed my first band as a college student in the 80's. A couple of years later we were touring New Zealand and releasing records on the world famous Flying Nun record label. I was able to share my passion for music and experience as a musician with my son Jacob, in 2003 I helped his band "The Checks" prepare for the Smokefree Rockquest music competition - they made it all the way to the national finals. I continued to work with them as their manager - a roller coaster ride of concerts and tours to Australia, England, Japan and the USA, a record contract with SonyBMG in the UK, support gigs with Oasis, AC/DC and REM, and Tui Awards for Best Rock Album at both the 2010 and 2012 New Zealand Music Awards. I also spent time teaching at MAINZ (Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand). I’m now teaching at five primary schools around the North Shore and look forward to helping your child on their journey as a guitarist.
