Born and bred in New Zealand, I spent my teenage years as a lost soul getting into all kinds of mischief on the streets of Rotorua. Music was the only thing that kept me alive.

The more I surrender to the music the more I grow personally and the more I grow personally the more I am able to surrender to my writing, it's funny how these three things never seem to be too distant from each other.
