Graham has been playing piano since he was 10. Initially he studied classical piano working through the Australian Music Examinations Board (A.M.E.B.) grades to finish his Associate Music award (A.MUS.A)

He then began working in original and covers bands and developing his pianistic skills in different styles.

At this time Graham began teaching piano on a regular basis.

Moving to Perth and while playing solo piano, he joined a composite covers / original band and toured Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland over a 7 month period.

Returning to Melbourne he joined several bands before forming a very successful covers band “Wizards”


After that Graham released an original relaxation album  "Earth’s Wish" – later called  "Once Upon a Moment” that received regular TV / airplay on SBS TV. It's now a video titled "Tranquil Moments in Time".

Later he formed a jazz/ rock /blues/ fusion original band "Vertigo4" where Graham was the songwriter, and the band received some radio exposure on PBS radio in Melbourne.
