He replaced Patrick Matthews, the previous bassist of The Vines, who left during the Annandale gig where Craig Nicholls reportedly kicked a photographer. He joined the band in July 2006.

He recorded the bass for several tracks for the soon to be released Scott Burns debut album and completed all his bass tracks for the forthcoming 4th album by the Vines in late 2007 and early 2008, his first album with the band.
His favourite music includes The Kinks, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Kings of leon, Arcade Fire, The Strokes and The Pixies.
He enjoys surfing and plays a Fender Jaguar Bass.
