All About Me
I was unceremoniously shot into my hometown of Penrith, NSW, in a puddle of love and placenta. It is rumoured that I immediately attempted to hail the glory of my own birth with a rendition of the Beatles 'Here Comes The Sun'. Apparently my squealy pitch and lack of enunciation has changed little since that moment.
I was raised in a proud Irish household with Van Morrison and The Pogues dominating the stereo. It being a catholic household I was also taught to repent for my sins which is why I now lay bare my dirty past: I owned a Boyz II Men album, I once bought a Hanson single as a gift for my mother, and I once choreographed a dance routine to Paula Abdul's 'Opposites Attract'.
I did however redeem myself. My teenage years were suitably filled with rock'n'roll debauchery, short unflattering haircuts and facial piercings, a wardrobe comprised of oddly smelling op-shop clothing, and even a stint as roady (being the only member of my friendship group with a license and with no ability to play any instrument whatsoever).
Despite my ongoing love affair with music I have, since birth, been afflicted with an acute case of Music-cocal Tonedeaf-itis. I have a unique vocal ability that sounds truly awesome in any of the following three places: the shower, my motorcycle helmet, and the Australian Institute for the Deaf.
I completed a journalism degree all the while yearning for a return to times when being a writer meant you could accompany a band of hairy talented musicians on a psychedelic bus of drugs, sex and rock'n'roll for months on end (Almost Famous styles). I backpacked the globe for four years and after returning to Oz moved down to Melbourne to try something new.
There is nothing I love more than bathing my ears in my favourite ear-candy and dancing for hours with my eyes closed!
That's me in a not-so-sound-proof nutshell I guess.
