Profile:

All levels of printed music production, from simple chord charts to full brass and orchestral arrangements. 

All levels of audio production, from simple arrangements to finished broadcast-quality recording, in my home studio, or directing sessions at larger studios. 

I spent two years working on Channel 9's variety show “IMT” in 1998-99, arranging featured musical numbers for the live-to-air TV band. Artists included Helen Reddy, Petula Clark, Michael Cormick, Debra Byrne, Caroline O'Connor, The Wiggles, Jewel, Doug Parkinson, Colleen Hewitt, Sylvie Palladino, Vanetta Fields, and many more.

Since 1999 I have worked on Channel 9's Carols By Candlelight under legendary arranger Peter de Visser. Carols also uses a live-to-air orchestra. I have arranged all songs performed by Hi-Five, and songs for Tina Arena, Vannessa Amorossi, Sister2Sister, Patti Newton, The Five Rock Legends, and others.

For Channel 9's Alan Border Medal, I have arranged songs for Jon Stevens and David Campbell.

For the Peter Sullivan Big Band, I have prepared charts for performances by Renee Geyer, Ross Wilson, Deborah Conway, Joe Camelleri, John Paul Young, Kate Ceberano, Lisa Edwards, Wendy Stapleton, Matt Hetherington, The Chantoozies, Chantelle Delaney, Bob Valentine, Steve Vizard, Jennifer Keyte, John Wood, Belinda Emmet, Shane Bourne, Lovinia Nixon, Tamsyn Lewis, The Oarsome Foursome, Simon Westaway, Gorgi Quill, Nick Gianopoulos, Hamish & Andy, Rob Mills, Andy and Brendan Fevola, Sam Newman, and many more.

Working in my home studio or any of the larger Melbourne recording studios, I have arranged and produced CD tracks and demo recordings for innumerable songwriters and vocalists. I have composed and produced four 40-minute music pieces for theatre. I have arranged, produced and recorded hundreds of music tracks for advertising and jingles, covering an extraordinary range of musical styles.
