- Musical background
- My Mother was a singer and my Dad a bass player in various 80's alternative bands. My Mum was still playing gigs when she was 8 months pregnant with me, so I guess I've been going to gigs since in utero! I Started banging on anything I could use as drums as an infant and eventually discovered my Dad's bass when I was 13. I joined a blink 182 cover band then went on to join an alternative rock/metal band called Seraphim when I was 15. I have been in various other bands and have been playing live ever since! I am also the vocalist and bassist for Melancholic/progressive band Noctis.

- Worst nightmare on stage
- I've had nightmares where I'm playing to thousands of people either naked or not knowing any of the songs I'm supposed to be playing.
