When did you first get into music? What was the inspiration? My dad's beautiful falsetto singing hymns at church.
Do you have a day job as well? Yes, I am a motivational speaker, model and youth leader.
How do you prepare for a gig? Just your typical prep really. I'll sit alone and listen to some really heavy rock like Jet or Incubus and then just stare in the mirror for ages crying.
What's your favourite post-gig pastime? I just rock out with my awesome friends. I have a couple of cheeky drinks and then basically just head home and either watch TV or go straight to bed. The time it takes me to get home depends on how far I have to travel. Melbourne public transport is quite good, so, depending on how late it is, I can often get back on a tram or bus. If not I'll just get a taxi home. Usually it's not too expensive.
Who is your musical hero? Michael Guglielmucci. Such a brave and courageous soul. I've always loved his song Healer. His story inspires me on many levels.
What would you be doing if you weren't a musician? I'd probably be some kind of professional business leader or property developer.
What was the last gift you gave someone? Time Flies, the Bill Cosby autobiography.
What would we find in your fridge right now? Caged eggs, lamb, head cheese and veal.
Where can we catch your next performance? At the Front Gallery on April 25 at 8pm.
Pepsi or Coke? I guess it just depends what"s on offer. Some places don't have Coke and some don't have Pepsi. I don't mind Pepsi, but I prefer Coke. I've always had an appreciation of post-mix soft drink too. I for one stand by Subway over it's decision to discontinue unlimited refills. People were abusing the system.
