I spent my early years in Kapunda up near the Barossa Valley and started playing music in a 5 piece folk group called Loose Goose and the Groovettes regularly playing at the Vine Inn Hotel, Nuriootpa. Around this time I was also playing with my twin sister Amanda in a duo called The Hippichix and we played a number of regional and metropolitan venues and were regularly found supporting The Barflys's who were SA's most popular band at that time.

 

Relocating to Gawler and a new 3 piece band started called The Dalys. Our shows included Victor Harbor Folk Festival and Gawler Youth Festival. More recently playing as a duo in Duology with Paul (Maestro) an Elder Conservatorium pianist, one major corporate show success was for Microsoft SA.

 

Nataleigh and Carly was a more recent duo and together we supported Rob Snarsky (Black Eyed Susans) and Shane O'Mara (Rebeccas Empire) as well as a number of local shows. 2022 and post Covid i have joined 5 Shades of Grey as their vocalist, 5SOG are a well established party band, having formed 10 or so years ago, with Nigel, Richard, Brett and Ray, we have been working hard to bring a number of new songs to each show. I have also been practicing with Kelvin, Mick and Kev on an original band Double Vision playing my back catalogue of hits some dating back to 1990! which is exciting.  

 

As a soloist I have played a number of different venues from Gemtree Wines at McLaren Vale, national anthems at Hindmarsh Stadium to background music at Hot Yoga, North Adelaide and private soiree's. I have toured the Eyre Peninsula, Northern NSW and supported interstate bands at The Wheatsheaf. I also regularly play at Farmers Markets, private shows, weddings, funerals and everything in between. I have a small home studio and have recorded and supplied vocals and backing vocals to a number of songwriters locally, interstate and internationally. 

​

I have a small set up as a soloist but can expand to duo, trio or full band.
