His influences are in good old fashioned energetic rock music. Growing up listening to Dire Straits, Status Quo, T. Rex, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and the like, has helped shape the patterns of his musical thoughts.

to modern rock, funk and club music.

currently performing in and around Cape Town.
