Biography/Experience
I have a broad range of experience having played in various orchestras and ensembles, many collaborations on different projects with other artists and my own work as a solo artist.
I began playing violin at the age of 8 under a classically trained teacher who nurtured my early strings learning with his unique approach to teaching using his own program, playing in his orchestra with other students also. I then went on to have lessons with several other teachers as I moved around the east coast of australia between schools. It was during my teenage years that I became particularly interested in Traditional Celtic music and delved right into learning tunes on my own. Later on I was privileged enough to learn from a master musician in Ireland who furthered my technique through online lessons over video call. I currently continue my learning of new tunes and techniques, and regularly attend my local session here on the NW coast, in addition to my street performances.
I also enjoy experimenting with playing some contemporary modern music as well, having spent my last year of high school studying this musical subject area for a whole day every week in a wonderfully talented group of musicians, under the guidance of an enthusiastic and supportive teacher, with a focus mainly on rock and pop spanning the decades, but some other musical genres also.
I have been involved in many different and varied collaborations with other musicians and creatives throughout my artistic career, including projects with BIGhART and NWSS at a local level, event management and technical assistance/backstage help for Solferino Cinemas and 3 Sisters Youth Theatre in NSW, and being involved in school productions during my education.
