Happy 2015! This song is my summer jam. Recorded in one take on my phone, uploaded raw. Hoping to do a full, more refined version later on in the year if I can get my hands on some proper recording equipment again. Bring back the funk.

Uptown Funk Demo (Cover - Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars)

Recorded on my phone in one take and uploaded raw. Gorgeous song by the incomparable Sam Smith. Full version later. Maybe. Probably not.

Lay Me Down Demo (Cover - Sam Smith)

It's been a while, so here's a lazy Spring jam. Recorded in one take and uploaded raw.

Budapest (Cover - George Ezra)

Had a lazy Sunday afternoon so I decided to have a crack at my latest obsession. Discovered that laid-back acoustic covers of Journey songs require a whole lot of falsetto. As usual, recorded on my phone in one take and uploaded raw.

Any Way You Want It Demo (Cover - Journey)

I don't care what the haters say, this song rocks my socks.

She Looks So Perfect (Cover - 5 Seconds of Summer)

So, hey, I now own my own recording equipment! This is the first cover I've managed to churn out. I'm still very much an amateur with Pro Tools, but I'm pretty chuffed with how this turned out as my very first mix.

I was in NYC in December last year and was lucky enough to have tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway, with the complete original cast. It was, without doubt, the single greatest theatre experience of my life. I was a fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda and company ever since In The Heights, but I now happily rank amongst the millions who are obsessed with his latest masterpiece.

Since there's probably not a great chance of Hamilton reaching Australian shores, this is likely the closest I'll ever get to playing Aaron Burr.

Dedicated to my girl, Eliza, and all my incredible friends who chipped in to make my little bedroom studio a reality.

Wait For It (Cover - Leslie Odom, Jr. - Hamilton)

Here's the second track to be recorded with my new recording gear. I haven't really done anything a bit grungy and dirty since the Lady Gaga cover a couple of years ago, so I wanted to see what sort of sound I'd produce with decent equipment. I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out!

Alternate lyrics nabbed from Noah Guthrie's (@only1noah)cover of the same song, which you should check out on YouTube, because it's sick.

Ex's & Oh's (Cover - Elle King)

Another Hamil-tune. Decided to have a go at layering my vocals. Turned out okay!

Absolutely adore this song. Although, it's part of the Hamilton soundtrack, so... obviously.

Dear Theodosia (Cover - Leslie Odom, Jr./Lin-Manuel Miranda - Hamilton)

Theatre and film performer/geek from Canberra, Australia. My earlier covers were recorded in one take on my phone, but I have recently acquired some legit recording equipment and will be doing things 'properly' from here on in. Enjoy. :)
