7-10 years

Self-taught pianist/keyboardist/singer and songwriter. Started writing in yr9 and play mostly by ear. I'm still learning new things everyday. I can do a bit of film music, too. I've played for church services, sung in choirs, won two school Battle of the Bands comps (with me on keyboard), i may not be the world's best singer, but I do have crack at it. I do both music and lyrics, although music is my stronger side.

No

Both

A band where every member gets to chip in, share the mic, write their own songs, even switch instruments from time to time. ...NOT one of those bands where one member stands out and the rest play behind the curtain... I write songs that people would want to dance to. Or songs that they'd want to play and sing together. But also music that people can connect to. I want listeners to relate to the music in some way, to “feel” the music and “feel” something while listening to it. To remember a moment in their lives when they hear it. That’s what I’m about. It has to be “singable”, “danceable” and “relatable”.

Artists that have inspired me in some way: _____________THE BIG 10 = Michael Jackson | Stevie Wonder | Coldplay | The Killers | U2 | The Beatles | Phil Collins | Billie Joel | Elton John | Queen | _____________THE 80's = Fleetwood Mac | INXS | The Police | Peter Gabriel | Paul Simon | Pet Shop Boys | Human League | Spandau Ballet | Tears for Fears | Split Enz | The Buggles | A-ha | The Clash | AC/DC | Cold Chisel | Icehouse | ____________THE OLDIES ABBA | Earth Wind & Fire | The Who | Dire Straits | Bob Marley | Bob Dylan | Simon&Garfunkel | _____________THE NOW = Muse | Eskimo Joe | Cut Copy | The Presets | Van She | Digitalism | Midnight Juggernaughts | MGMT | Empire of the Sun | Daft Punk | Blur | Gorillaz | Grafton Primary | Kings of Leon | Franz Ferdinand | Silverchair (Young Modern era) | Bloc Party | ...If you happen to have a fare number of similar tastes, please let me know...

Anywhere around Sydney. Nothing too far out. The furthest I'll travel is Parramatta. If I got called Brisbane, I might even consider.

Really hard to narrow it down to even 10!! So here's the gist...: Michael Jackson |Stevie Wonder | Coldplay The Killers | Fleetwood Mac | INXS | Police | The Beatles | Van She | Billie Joel

Does it have to be 3?? Well, these albums had an incredible number of songs I liked: Black Holes & Revelations | Viva La Vida | Hot Fuss | Walking on a Dream

It was either Coldplay or Stevie Wonder...
