Highest achievement? I married my wife Perri since 2013.
I live in Geelong, Australia. Rumour is we have the greatest football team of all (a song wouldn’t lie would it?)
I've been playing bass for the last 27 years.
I finally found a bass teacher once I began studying Jazz Performance at NMIT Greensborough - turns out having someone point out everything you’ve been doing wrong for two years straight is really helpful!
I almost didn’t finish the second year because I was away so often making music on tour!
The first record I ever bought was Def Leppard’s Hysteria
The first Cassette tape I ever bought was Snow’s 12 Inches of Snow (to my everlasting shame)
I honestly can’t remember the first CD I ever bought but the first digital album I ever bought was Strict Joy by The Swell Season. I still remember the first time I disappeared into it watching the Scottish rain fall on windows of our tour van.
When I'm not on the road or in the studio I love spending time at home with Perri and our sweet lil’ Whippet Apollo. (He’s 9 years old, but still a puppy in my eyes)
My favourite greek restaurant in the whole world is in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Hit me up for the hot tip if you’re ever in the area.
If I were a classic synth I’d definitely be a Juno 106 (with both chorus buttons mashed in)
I’ve been playing bass with Sons of Korah for the last 20 years.
They’d already been performing for 10 years when I joined.
I’m not saying that Matt Jacoby is old. He’s just older than me is all…
My most favourite mexican restaurant in the whole world is in east LA
24 years later I’m still trying to beat the vibe of the drums we recorded on my first ever record - in my mum’s kitchen with the mics routed through an old guitar pedal!
I first heard Sons of Korah’s music a full 4 hours before my first gig (Matt gave me a CD on the flight to Sydney!)
My least favourite Mexican restaurant in the whole world is also in east LA (you’ve gotta roll the dice on the road)
24 years later I’m still trying to get over the cringe lyrics I wrote on that first ever record. Everyone starts somewhere…
