What's the biggest "break" you've received? I’m super humbled and honoured to have had some really special experiences & opportunities in my time as a musician.

I’ve performed in the USA in 2017, ‘18 & ‘19 at the International Blues Challenge – Youth Showcase hosted on Beale St in Memphis TN. In early Feb 2020, I returned for the IBC & performed again in Nashville & Muscle Shoals. In the four years of attending, I’ve had the amazing opportunities to perform alongside band members from great acts such as BB King, Albert Collins, Ray Charles, Bonnie Raitt, and Wilson Pickett. My latest album “Good To Go” was received really well, despite being released during these strange COVID times. Many thanks to Betsie, Sallie & the whole “Blue Heart Records” team. - #1 Aust RMR top 50 Albums, #2 USA RMR Top 50 Blues Rock Albums, #3 Aust Blues & Roots Airplay charts, #14 UK - IBBA Album charts. “Good To Go” was also a top 5 finalist for Music Victoria’s best blues album alongside Lloyd Spiegel, Aaron Pollock, Joe Camilleri & The Teskey Brothers! Alongside all this, I’m stoked to be an official endorsed artist for the incredible Hagstrom Guitars - based in Sweden!
