What a great night at the 2026 APRA Screen Music Awards!

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees. Such an incredible amount of talent in the room.

It was also a real pleasure and privilege to be invited to be part of the judging panel for this year’s awards.

Always wonderful to catch up with so many talented friends and colleagues.

Spring and summer racing is here!
Great to be back writing and recording a fresh version of the Country Racing Victoria jingle for the new campaign.
I originally wrote the jingle over 10 years ago, so it’s pretty special to still be part of it all these years later!
Big thanks to the teams at Balance Agency & Country Racing Victoria. Always a pleasure working together!

10 Years On — “It’s Got It All”

Here’s a little edited snippet from the performance.

10 years on, and this piece still has a little magic in it.

I wrote It’s Got It All for Country Racing Victoria 10 years ago, and it went on to receive an APRA Screen Music Awards nomination for Best Music in an Advertising TVC.

Over the years, CRV have invited me back many times to open their awards night with a new variation of the track. This year I had the pleasure of performing an acoustic version with my longtime friend Matthew Gerber-Corn of Sonic Playground Studios.

A special thank you to Rankin from Balance Advertising for joining us on stage and opening the evening with such a warm and heartfelt welcome.

These days, so much of my work happens in the studio, so getting back on stage for this one was pretty special.

Thank you CRV and Balance Advertising for 10 years of this piece. ❤️
