Inspired by bands such as The Beatles, The Velvet Underground and The Cure he spent most of his teens writing, recording and performing.

A chance meeting with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Melbourne, saw the 19 years old Giles move to the United States.

After two years performing and producing in Los Angeles, Giles moved to Austin Texas, where he met legendary manager and club owner Clifford Antone.

Floor 13, with a new American line-up, was based primarily in Dallas Texas, where the band recorded several EPs and by the late 1990s had gained notoriety among the scene in "Deep Ellum".

[1][2] Giles returned to Australia in 2000 and immersed himself in the local emerging dance music scene working with many local DJs and producers, culminating in a project called Atari Baby[3] – releasing a self titled album and many singles, remixes and videos under the moniker.
