At 26 years of age, Craig has been in a list of bands in Sydney and Newcastle of varying styles over the 15 years he has been playing. Bands like Led Zepplin and the Beatles were the reasons that Craig picked up the guitar in the first place, but Angus Young and AC/DC were the major influence early on. University provided the opportunity of taking in some of the best live acts OZ has to offer, leading to more recent influences of mainly Australian bands and songwriters such as Tim Rogers / You Am I, Chris Cheney / Living End, Powderfinger, Regurgitator, Spiderbait, etc. Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Green Day and similar bands from the States have also provided strong influences. While the guitar remains his main interest, he would also like to develop his songwriting with A.K.A.
