History After co founding and running Rhinoceros Recordings in Sydney Australia in the 1980s, I moved to the UK and worked as a freelance producer/mixer/engineer until returning to Australia in 2000.

During my time at Rhinoceros, I worked on many of the significant Australian albums of that decade including, INXS’ Kick, X and Shabooh Shoobah, Midnight Oil’s Blue Sky Mining, Richard Clapton’s Glory Road and Solidarity, GANGgajan’s Sounds of Then and Australian Crawl’s, Semantics.

Winning ARIA Engineer Of The Year on two occasions. 1987 & 1991

Based in London in the 90s, I worked throughout Europe and the USA with artists as diverse as Elton John, Pulp, Ash, Soul Asylum, Brian Adams, Sting, Rod Stewart, Marcella Detroit, Heroes Del Silencio and Johnny and David Hallyday. Achieving a US#1 with “All For Love” as a Co-Producer and numerous international #1s as a mix and recording engineer for UK producers Chris Thomas, Chris Kimsey and Phil Manzenera and French producer Pierre Jaconelli.

Since returning to Australia in 2000, I have produced and mixed numerous albums including the debut #1 George album "Polyserena”, the debut #1 Zed album "Silencer" and tracks on the debut #1 Delta Goodrem album "Innocent Eyes".

Winning ARIA “Producer of the Year” in 2005 with the Drag album "The Way Out".

Alongside studio work, my live experience stretches back to the early 80s. Most notably broadcasting and recording Sir Elton John live from Barcelona before the Olympics and Johnny Halliday live in Las Vegas and countless other broadcasts, recordings and FOH mixes including the worlds first BYO FM event with GANGgajang in Brisbane Australia in the early 80s.

In 2009 I re launched Rhinoceros as an independent label with the release of its first record and in November of that year Rhinoceros Publishing was accepted as a full member of APRA/AMCOS and CCLI. In 2013 I also partner with Szikla Technical to develop audio hardware and in 2015 we released the highly regarded Prodigal Duel Chanel Strip.

I joined up with long time friends and work colleges Sebastian Chase and Graham "Buzz" Bidstrup to form SBD Music, launching Asquith Sessions and The Tracking Crew, to provide streaming content and to discover and develop new Australian talent. Check it out www.sbdmusic.com

I also continue to work for Desert Pea Media supporting their amazing work helping indigenous communities deal with the incredible challenges of youth suicide, domestic violence drug abuse and loss of culture.

Producing and Mixing music is still my passion and I do it every day…
