I collect guitars, have Jackson (Dinky Strat 1/300, PC1), Brian Moore (if9), Ibanez (Egen18, S5470 Prestige), PRS (Cust24 1/200), Takamine (96Ltd, EG128SC) and a fewYamaha guitars. I use two custom built J Le Roux 100 W heads and matching 2x12 cabs. All sorts and makes of effects.

The 70's rock guru's ie Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Sabbath, Cream, Queen, etc had a huge influence. Growing up in South Africa we never got to see them live, radio and LP's had to do.

I have been in and out of bands all my life. During the 80's I played mostly top40's with bands like China White, Rapscallion, Panama and an 11 year stint with Shaft. The '90's/ early 2000's were original rock: Simpliciti, Glaze and Atmosphere Control Unit (ACU). 2008 saw the birth of my solo and current band, St.J. Prophesy Project. The first album entitled Beginnings was launched in April 2009 and I am currently working on my second album. The stuff is a blend of Jazz/ Blues and Prog Rock. I perform live in Saudi Arabia where I currently live and in South Africa, my country of birth. Would love to go on a world tour!!!

Joe Satriani - G3 setup. Would make for an explosive combination and be grand to share a stage with fellow guitar greats. Are you listening Satch? ;)

Biggest probably around 3000+, smallest a few guys in a pub. Playing Arcadia (huge counter culture festivals that took place in ZA a few years ago) wirh ACU three times was most memorable. That said, opening for the Awakening and afterwards overhearing a comment that they should've played first makes the former a close call for second, we rocked!!!
