Biography

I am a New Zealand, solo acoustic guitarist, who produces instrumental music. The 'Restoration' album is my third recording project and has been five years in preparation. The material is original and covers a number of genres- including classical, jazz, flamenco and contemporary flavorings. Songs are performed on an acoustic-electric, nylon stringed guitar- all fingerstyle

Important influences include Martin Taylor, Mark Knoffler and Earl Klugh. The concept behind the album relates to giving the listener a refreshing, relaxing and restoring experience. The production seeks to emphasise the natural beauty of the guitar and aims for a clean, uncluttered sound- a change from the muli-tracked productions, that can proliferate these days.
