Bio:

G'day. Welcome to my personal myspace. Born and bred in Sydney,Australia- now living in NYC. I am the bassist for the band "The Ruling Party" (myspace.com/therulingparty) I also play bass for Alicia Keys. I have been with Alicia for over 3 years now. She is such an awesome talent and I was fortunate enough to spend the last couple of years in the studio with her during the recording of "As I Am". I co wrote 2 songs with her as well. "Superwoman" along with Linda Perry and "Tell you Something" with our RULING PARTY guitarist, Ron Haney. Such a great honour!! The Ruling Party just finished opening for Alicia on the Euro leg of her "As I Am" tour. People I have played for and or toured/recorded with: Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz, Annie Lennox, Stephen and Damien Marley, Bono, Sheryl Crow, Quincy Jones, David Bowie, Destiny's Child, John Mayer, Missy Elliot, Tweet, Usher, Carl Thomas, Puff Diddy (or whatever he bloody calls himself!), Pink, Mary J Blige, Ashanti ..... many others who I can't think of right now I also ride vintage vespa and lambretta scooters.
