He is also the current house keyboardist for sessions at Goatsound and Incubator Studios and has performed on ABC Radio and television.

Previously, he has worked with Mick Harvey (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), Matt 'Skitz' Sanders (Damaged/Gravetemple), JP Shilo (Blackeyed Susans/Hungry Ghosts), Mick Turner (the Dirty Three), Raul Sanchez (Magic Dirt) and Kim Salmon (The Scientists).
