I was born on 28th May 1985 and weighed in at just under 9lb. Mum said that I was a difficult birth but my aunty said it was because I was born with a guitar in my hands!
My dad is of Samoan/Chinese decent and my mum is a quarter Maori. Her parents/granparents being, Scottish/Irish/Spanish/Welsh Kiwi’s, so as you can see, I am a great big melting pot!
I have four brothers and one sister and they will all tell you that I'm the coolest! Don't actually ask them though because they'll just lie!
I became involved in the entertainment industry, at the age of three, doing television advertisements, which lead the way, to various television drama series and shows!
Both of my parents are musicians so I grew up in a musical family. Not many people out there can have a jam with their parents so I consider myself very lucky.
I learned guitar, drums and rock’n’roll from an early age. I also write and record my own music.
You must be sick of reading about me so I'm going to cut it there! If you have any questions, hit me up on the blog and I will get back to you!
