For those who don't know him, this is Rohan Evans. He is a enthusiastic musical maestro who writes his own songs and plays guitar, drums, keys, sings (I'm sure he will tell me off for missing some more out).

I had the pleasure of supporting him at rockquest, sitting backstage with him making sure he was feeling good. Although he didn't place, he did a great job and I am sure he will do well next year. His original song had deep metaphorical lyrics with catchy melodies and great chords to set the harmonic tone.

He regularly plays at Mata Open mics which shows in his confidence on stage. Come along one night to see what he does!

I have no doubt you will all know his name in the coming years, he is a talent to look out for and comes with confidence, maturity and a passion for entertainment and music.

All the best Rohan.
