· I grew up in a very musical, but very fear-driven household…
· Both my parents were music teachers
· Dad taught jazz, Mum taught classical… but my father was an abusive alcoholic & my mother was a passive aggressive narcissist.
· I learnt violin when I was 7 until I was bullied out of it by other school kids
· So I started playing guitar & writing songs when I was 8 (way cooler)
· I’ve always had a good ear for good music & I can play most stringed instruments proficiently.
· I joined a rock band in high school, right about the same time I started hitting bongs & dabbling in party tricks if you know what I mean…
· I feel like I ‘peaked’ in high school (pun intended).
· I was famous for being the dude with the weed or the guy that knows a guy - Long hair, rock band, panel van, oh yeah!
· I was bullied heavily all through my youth, even by my so-called family, so in high school I invested most of my energy into parties & having a grand ole time - obviously an escape from my fucked up family life & a chance to gain some attention & fake friends - GREAT SUCCESS!
· Since I was 8 I’ve always been set on a career in music – singing, playing, writing, producing… I’m a bit of a freak on the beat.
· After high school my band split up & unfortunately I had put all my eggs in that basket… Which fucked me up BIG TIME.
· I lost all sense of direction, drive & spiralled into a rabbit hole of drug abuse, self-neglect & eventually psychosis when I was 19.
· With no support system what-so-ever, I decided to leave town to continue my musical journey, venturing into the world of electronic music production.
(The only thing I could think of that was still music but that I could do SOLO without selling my soul.)
I lasted 8 weeks at a Music Uni in Brisbane before my self-awareness kicked in.
(I knew I was fucked up, but I also knew the only way out of it was through it.)
· I spent 2 years living on the east coast of Australia, travelling from Cairns to Brisbane, then Byron Bay, to Sydney & finally landing in Melbourne.
· All whilst in a totally twisted mind frame of addiction, depression & suicidal thoughts, I managed to pull myself through to the other side & landed back in Cairns with no money, no friends & a phony family.
· Fast track 3 years – I met my spiritual teacher when I joined a local band. He was the drummer & we eventually became good mates.
· It took me some years before I quit old habits & bad company, but during those years my Teacher gave me tools & practices to build resilience, wisdom & help me tune back into my psychic abilities that I’d long forgotten.
· I abused drugs & alcohol up until Mid 2023 when love came around...
- Yeah, she came around to buy weed.
(Right about the same time my mum told me she was born into Free Masonry)
It’s crazy how casual they speak about it, like it’s such a normal thing. “Oh yeah, and the men would put on their aprons & go into the room to have their meeting while the women prepared the food & us kids played with the pendulums & pyramids.” This is straight up illuminati cult type shit guys… But spirits had my back since day 1. I’m the only one that didn’t buy the bullshit. ANYWAY. There’s too much to cover here in one sitting.
· SO…. me & my dream Queen have known each other since high school but when she showed up, she totally flipped the script. My world was turned on its head.
· I started throwing cigarettes in the trash, cut back on the bottle, became far more aware of the man I was choosing to be & started making plans to exit the drug game.
· I was really enjoying getting to know her until she moved to Hong Kong.
· One minute she was there, the next she was gone. That was when I realized I love her.
· Since then I’ve only been able to write songs about us. Believe me, I’ve tried.
· She’d been living overseas for 3 months when I found out she was planning a Europe trip with another guy… So I booked a $1000 plane ticket to Hong Kong to surprise her & landed in the middle of a Typhoon only to get stood up & rained on... She told me she loved someone else & although I didn’t believe her, I was pretty dam disappointed.
· Bad timing + Bad weather = Bad decisions
· So I flew to Thailand & got sucked into the Phuket party scene - UH OH!
· I drank & smoked myself stupid for 3 weeks straight. (ok, maybe I was a lil heart broken)
- Then I decided to make an incredibly smart investment into the local cannabis industry. Little did I know that it was a setup & they completely robbed me blind.
· I was left with nothing & had to borrow $1000 from my older brother to fly back to Australia.
· I was broke, heart broken, & homeless…
· But PHUK-ET! WHAT A STORY!
· If you made it this far - respect!
· That was 2023… 2024 was RIDICULOUS!
· If you’re ready for another trip around the sun – Let me know in the comments. 🫡
