West learned how to play in the low lit bars and pubs of Adelaide, Australia. Songs were tested at open mics and schoolyard concerts before graduating to modest home town shows before playing to packed out crowds in signature venues, as well performances at some of the biggest festivals and music conferences in Australia and North America.
His single ‘The Call’ was recorded with acclaimed Australian producer, John Castle (Vance Joy, Washington, Josh Pyke)
His debut album ‘A Spark in the Dark’, launched in August 2013, was described by TheMusic.com.au as ‘an album worth remembering’ providing ‘more than meets the eye.’
According to Melbourne’s Beat Magazine, ‘the album is characterised by heartfelt vocal performances that send out an emotive invitation to the listener.’
In a live setting West provides intricate guitar work with a vocal performance that soars one moment before singing with heart wrenching simplicity in the next. West is equally capable of delivering a stirring performance accompanied by a 3-piece band, simple bass guitar or performing solo.

Shanna Brumby
on A Shadow of Myself
Easy, Love
Shanna BrumbyShanna Brumby
on A Shadow of Myself
Who left the window wide
Let the rain inside
Carried me from you
On the back of a wave
I am not brave
There is an empty bed
inside an empty room
inside an empty house
Our easy love is through
There is an empty bed
Inside an empty room
Inside an empty house
Oh easy love is through
Ohh oh oh oh
Ohh oh oh oh
Back to the drawing board
Nothing came to mind
So i drew some lines
Step back and wait
Right there on the page
They assemble to your face
A cruel design
There is an empty bed
Inside an empty room
Inside an empty house
Our easy love is through
Ohh oh oh oh
Ohh oh oh oh
Go easy on me love
Go easy on me love
Go easy on me love
Go easy on me love
There is an empty bed
Inside an empty room
Inside an empty house
Our easy love is through
There is an empty bed
Inside an empty room
Inside an empty house
Our easy love is through
