"I'm thinking guitars might catch on..."

I’m a guitarist, songwriter, and guitar teacher based in Sydney. If I’m not at my teaching studio in Petersham, you’ll find me working with a session client, or playing guitar gigs around the Inner West.

From Jersey to the Inner West

My journey started a long way from Sydney. I grew up in Jersey (the Channel Islands one), where I was playing professionally by 13 and starting my career as a guitar tutor by 16. A turning point came at 17 when I landed a spot on BBC Radio One’s Sound City songwriting competition. That launched a decade of touring across the UK, Europe, and Asia, sharing festival stages with some of the biggest names in Britpop.

Since moving to Australia, I’ve stayed busy in the local scene. I’ve released two solo albums (Songs from the City and Record #2), performed with the Soul Messengers, and currently play in a number of Soul, Rhythm and Blues and Ska bands. Whether it’s national radio play or a local residency, my life has always revolved around six strings.

Guitar Lessons in Petersham & Beyond

I’ve always believed that being a great musician and being a great guitar teacher are two different skills—and I’ve spent over 25+ years refining both.

While I run a dedicated guitar studio in Petersham, I also look after a global community of players. My YouTube channel has grown to over 27,000 subscribers, where I’ve shared more than 1,000 free lessons. I’m also the face behind Guitarmony, where I design apparel for people who are just as obsessed with gear as I am.

Session Work & Collaborations

If you’re looking for a session guitarist in Sydney for your next project, or need someone to fill a spot for a live show, I bring decades of touring and recording experience to the table. I’ve played on countless records across a dozen genres, and I pride myself on being easy to work with and showing up with the right tone for the room.

Whether you’re looking for guitar lessons in the Inner West to finally nail that solo, or you need a professional hand for your next recording, I’d love to chat.

Let’s make some music.
