Jam is born & raised in Melbourne, AUS. He started classical piano at the age of 5 and trained for 10 years, up to the A.Mus.A in classical performance before spending the next 15 years doing anything BUT classical.
He also took up clarinet & violin lessons during his high-school years as well as teaching himself guitar & drums to balance out the inner-bandgeek with cool-rocker status. He eventually taught piano during his university years whilst studying Architecture.
Jam built up an extensive array of performing experience with various bands & ensembles from playing clarinet in a concert band, violin in a symphony orchestra, piano in jazz/swing/bigbands and drums in a heavy metal band! He even started up his own barbershop/acapella group and co-founded the Willow Jazz Band.
He brings the classic New York American Pianobar vibe with an Australian twist, sprinkled with European charm!
Upon graduating from Architecture with a Bachelor & Masters degree, Jam worked briefly in the industry before the 2008 Global Financial Crisis hit, and he decided to take some time off to pursue his true passion & calling in music. He successfully applied for and began a career as a professional musician onboard international cruise-ships; playing the Keyboard/Piano in the house-showbands for Carnival Cruise-Line & Seabourn Cruise-Line.
After a few years, Jam decided to go solo and venture into the world of Pianobar Entertainment with Royal Caribbean International. Jam travelled the world and performed for audiences around the globe for 7 years before hanging up the sailing boots and settling back on land in Melbourne, AUS.
He now performs regularly at a few residences in Melbourne; including Murmur Pianobar, Jukes Bar at Crown, East Brunswick Duelling Pianobar and occasionally features as a guest performer at the famed Pianobar Geelong.
He is available for all functions (private/public), festivals & events, and looks forward to entertaining you!
Jam is just such a wonderful person with a beautiful personality and an abundance of talent on the piano. I had the privilege of sitting at his piano every night on my Radiance of the Seas cruise and since he started these livestreams I haven't missed a single one. I cannot say enough about what a fabulous entertainer Jam is.

Thank you to my brother-in-law Jim for recommending we visit the Schooner Bar where he had heard this amazing pianist/vocalist perform. That amazing performer is Jam the Piano-Man. Jam has a gorgeous voice and is truly amazing on the piano. His versatility in performing everything from ballads to country to heavy metal, and yes, musical theater, kept everyone, from teens to seniors, happy until he had to say good night.
