Describe your show in a tweet? Ziggy... is a spectacular celebration of Bowie's classic 1972 album brought to life by a 12-piece superband and eight wildly diverse singers.
What happened the first time you saw a cabaret show? I was nine years old and I saw Brecht/Weill at La Boite Theatre in Brisbane. I was entranced by the storytelling, the darkness and the atmosphere. Later I became a rock musician and I love fusing these two loves together.
What is your party pump up song? Blondie — my favourite song is Dreaming. Debbie Harry is still the coolest rock chick on this planet.
