He has provided big band cover versions of rock and pop singles, "Creep" (originally by Radiohead), "Better Man" (Pearl Jam), and "Under the Bridge" (Red Hot Chili Peppers).
He started learning saxophone in 1977 and within a year began playing in various bands on the Sydney pub and club circuit from the late 1970s through to the early 1990s: the Layabouts, the Eddys, the Zarzoff Brothers, the Foreday Riders, the Allniters, Club Ska, Paris Green and Bellydance.
Two years later, he released a second album, Cash Landing, via EMI Records with the themes of money and avarice.
He appears in the 2000 Australian film The Dish as Barry Steele, a singer who sounds "a little like Frank Sinatra".
He has performed on saxophone with Daddy Cool and Glenn Shorrock (ex-the Little River Band).
