Jon Elms – Lead Vocals
With two hit singles under his belt, Jon Elms walked away from a fledgling career in New Zealand to pursue fun and fortune in the big city. After fronting several successful cover bands, Jon has performed in line ups from clubs to corporate events that leave audiences spellbound every time. Jon co-wrote, sang and produced the NZ hit single 'Nervous about the World' which received much mainstream radio airplay, being a first for an unsigned NZ artist. His success coupled with a natural talent for writing songs saw Jon receive a New Zealand on Air recording grant for his next single 'More than Love', this time at Sing Sing Recording Studios & 301 Sydney. Jon’s voice and music has already attracted major label interest in America with a request being made for more of his material.

Damian De-Boos Smith - Guitar
A Sydney boy born and bred, Damian's powerhouse guitar performances are well-known in the industry. A little-known fact is that Damian is also an accomplished cellist! Just a few of his many other talents include professional composer and film scorer. Versatility is the key-word for Damian, the guitarist for musicals Grease, Ben Elton’s 'We Will Rock You' and the Lion King. Damian is an award winning musician for film scoring and in 2001 he won the Tropfest Award - 'Best Original Score' for the film ‘Playin' Hard to Get’ with Giant Steps.
Chris Targett - Drums
Chris “Metro” Targett graduated with full honours at age 15 from kindergarten. After spending some time knitting woolly jumpers, Chris graduated from the Trinity College of Music (London). A tightrope specialist of drums, Chris’ talents lie in the art of using balancing poles whilst creating incredible drum solos (he may even perform without a safety net for effect). Chris has jetsetted formerly with ‘Hip Fidelity’ to Indonesia and Christmas Island and with his own band ‘Voodoo Groove’ to Japan. Chris was Kim Wilde’s guest drummer at the recent Australian Music Awards.
