Known as the lead singer of the Australian indie rock band The Temper Trap. He was part of the group's initial formation as an indie pop group in 2005. In June 2012, he and his bandmates released their second, eponymous full length album. Prior to his time in The Temper Trap, he was a street performer in Melbourne in the late 1990s. He subsequently worked in retail during the early 2000s. These experiences led to his meeting Temper Trap's bassist, Jonathan Aherne, and the drummer Toby Dundas.
