I grew up with the untamed wilderness of the Grose Valley as my backyard. My youth was filled with the sights, sounds and smells of eucalypt forest. My father had a passion for the bush, local history and aboriginal art and culture. My mother was a nature and animal lover who collected butterflies. She had a feisty social conscience but no voice. It’s no surprise that nature, art, history, animals, freedom, culture and family define my music.
