Hugh was born in Sydney Australia to an Anglican preacher Dad. Lived in the Gibson desert as a child, where he learned trumpet long enough to give him a good diaphragm for singing.
Grew up acting and singing for church/school productions and was a boy soprano. "My voice never really broke though (just got deeper), so thankfully I kept my high register."
When Hugh was 18 he won Australia's "Star Search" for best male vocalist. He won a car and drove around Queensland. After this he made some records, one through Polydor, produced by Mark Moffatt (Yothu Yindi, etc etc, the guy's a legend). A couple were independently done. Charles Fisher worked on one of them. (Savage Garden, Moving pictures, Gyan etc etc another legend).
1998 Hugh joined the Aussie group, 'Vertigo', and they had some success on Aussie airwaves with "Forever Lately". But we broke up not long after that.
In 2001 Hugh went on walkabout, spending time in Singapore, Europe, and eventually settling in New York. Lived all over NYC, in the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan.
While living in NY he recorded 'Unidirectional' and the electronica CD 'Radiate' as well as albums for CCC: 'Peace', 'C3USA project' and Steve Deal's 'Cure for Gravity'. (All are on itunes) In 2005/2006 Hugh toured with Lenny Kravitz, what an amazing country...
Right now, he is back at home, working on more recording projects and spending time with his lovely wife Anne, and daughter Helena.
