Last week I had the pleasure of chatting to NYC (my favorite city in the world) music blog, FDRMX, about everything from new tunes and what inspires me as an artist, to The BCS Movement and why I “changed” my name.
Here’s a short excerpt from the interview, but you can check out the whole thing by clicking the pic above. Thanks so much to Jessica and the FDRMX team for having me! Can’t wait to get back to NYC.

Growing up, Boyz II Men were always a huge influence & inspiration to me as a singer.
As an artist, I’m pretty honored to feature on this cover of their hit, End of the Road, from my friend Stan Walker’s amazing new album, Truth & Soul.
Shout-out to my crazy-talented friends, Vince Harder, Dami Im, Fourtunate & Samantha Jade, who also feature on the album.
It’s out now on iTunes, go get it!

Most of the time, we already know what we need to do to solve a problem in our lives.
We can either act on it and make a change, or park ourselves in the problem and be unhappy. It’s a choice.
Yeah, the details in-between may be messy, uncomfortable and even painful, but the choice itself is pretty simple: move forward or remain stuck.

The decision to go by my first two names may come as a surprise or seem random to some, but it was actually quite natural & easy.
It’s a progressive reflection of this road to discovery I’ve kinda been on over the past couple years. A lot has happened & that’s impacted every area of my life.
It’s a new time, a new beginning & I’m excited about what lies ahead…

Had the most special time hosting and performing at Glass Slipper Ball at Esplanade Hotel Fremantle (Perth) to raise funds for the Children’s Leukaemia and Cancer Research Foundation.
Thanks to everyone who donated, more than $20,000 was raised – what a result!
Extra special thanks to Kasey Carr for producing an event that was not only excellent, but had so much heart. I couldn’t be more grateful and proud to be part of it.

I recently spent a week in Rarotonga with some of my best friends, to do a show and also celebrate my friend, Vince Harder’s, bucks week.
Having never been to Raro before, I had no idea what to expect at all. Little did I know this trip would go down as one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had.
Huge thanks to all our sponsors for making it happen and for taking such good care of us. Here’s some pics and a highlight video below, courtesy of Varo Media…
Our Rarotonga arrival had us greeted by some beautiful local people & cruising across the island aboard this party bus. You just knew the week ahead was about to be unforgettable.
Chatting to Pacific TV about our upcoming show before boarding a Koka Lagoon Cruise with all the boys.
Raro chill with some of the boys.
Snorkeling is my new favorite thing. Physically relaxing, visually stunning…
Arriving at Muri Beach with the crew. Absolute paradise…
At the coconut opening show, was awesome. This dude’s the man. Make sure you check out a Koka Lagoon Cruise if you’re ever in Rarotonga.
With some of the Reefside Rarotonga crew in Rarotonga. These guys are so cool & helped make our stay extra amazing. Thanks to Sharon for the pic.
Stelfie (aka stage selfie) with the two best background vocalists a guy coulda hoped for, my Jireh brothers Turanga & Nate. Thank you for absolutely killing it & adding so much to my set, love you boys.
So cool meeting the mantis, Temuera Morrison, at the show. Really appreciate the kind words sir & have great respect for your work.
Battle Tag on our bro Vince’s big stag day. Fun as!
Deep-sea fishing trip with Akura Fishing Charters. Such a good hang with the bros out on the ocean…
Everything about the food, set-up & ambience epitomised “on point”, but beyond that us boys had the best time celebrating with our brother.
View from my room at Edgewater Resort & Spa. Wowsers. Absolutely stunning…
Take me back…
