Life
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Rod started playing guitar at the age of 8 years old then quickly moved on to Bass guitar at the age of 10 years old. At the age of 5 years old he was introduced to The Beatles and Santana by his father and Van Halen/ Whitesnake/ Toto and Prince by his older brother which formed a diverse road for Rod to pave his bass roots. He was always surrounded by great music as every week his father would buy him and his brother a 45" record single of what ever was number one on the charts that week which lead to him listening to the sounds and songs of the great 80s era. With a healthy knowledge to the music coming in from around the world he also was introduced to the great Australian music at that time(80s) from Aussie bands such as Sherbet, Mondo Rock, Skyhooks, Split Enz, Cold Chisel, Midnight oil, Australian crawl, Dragon and Men at work.

His first band was at the age of 13 years old, getting together with his brother(Guitar player) and his brothers school friends at the time(drummer) & (Singer) playing songs from Danzig/ Billy Idol/ Samhain/ Metallica etc... which led to him playing his first gig at the age of 14. Rod pretty much knew he wanted to play bass for a living after his first gig.
