As a musician, songwriter and music producer Brett achieved 3 top ten hits whilst con-currently owning and operating some of Melbourne’s most successful (and occasionally notorious!) after hours establishments. Constantly in search of new modes of expression Brett turned his eye to photography only a few years ago with immediate success, firstly in the domain of fashion and most recently in more observational and interpretive genres. Having made a career of knowing which way the cultural, business and social wind of Melbourne was blowing, Brett conceived the idea for his book "Artists-Icons & Acheivers", as a means to not only photograph 50 of Melbourne’s most interesting subjects but to tell a story with a candid image & to bring to the attention of his fellow Melburnians & the rest of the world the talent & enterprise we have in our own back yard. When not writing, recording and producing music, consulting on hospitality venue development and taking photographs, Brett surfs.
