As a band, we have been indulging in group meditative sessions in order to calm our nerves before the gig tomorrow night. This has involved meditating over pictures of our inspirations such as the ones below:

About Josh

Hi my name is Josh, I am 17 years old and have come to realise that one of my greatest passions in this life is music. I play guitar, bass, keyboard and drums, and am self-taught on all except drums. My favourite styles of music are varied, with influences from modern hip-hop, electronica, alt-rock and the like. My love for music composition has been aided by the advancement of cheap home studio technology, enabling me to create my own unique blend of music, influenced by a melting pot of genres. I hope to further my performance skills through my participation in the newly-formed band ‘Sheep of the Kiwi’. This short-term music project is the beginning of my music career and should propel me into a long-term career in the music industry.

About Tarryn :)

Hey my name is Tarryn Leah Schofield and I am 17 years old from the Sunshine Coast. I have had a pretty crazy upbringing. I was born in Johannesburg South Africa and moved to Australia when I was 13 years old. Adjusting to the changes in my life was difficult but writing and learning new songs made the journey so much easier as it helped me grow and helped me (as cliché as it is) find out who I really am. 

Growing up I never really had an input into the music I listened to, it was always Dad’s playlists playing in the car or at home so the artists that shaped me greatly would be John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Jeremy Taylor and The Beatles. I wouldn’t have had it any other way because having various genres of music constantly playing helped me really explore what music was really about and what it really meant to me. 

UPDATE 13/10/14: New Logo!!!!11!

Hi Sheep of the Kiwi fans (Shepiwis?)!

Our band have banded to hire a professional graphic designer to create our very own band logo. This is an exciting step for all of us, and more merch is sure to follow. 

Here is our exciting new band logo!!1!!!!!1!!

The Gig.

Hello Sheep of the Kiwi followers. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, our debut live performance at the world renowned Sol Bar, has been postponed to Wed 22nd of October. We are still super keen to perform for you and we know that you are super keen to see us, so make sure you come out and support us as we try to break through the local music scene to become gods among men.

About Mitch

Hi my name is Mitch. I have been roaming these lands for the past seventeen years and have come to realise something… I thoroughly enjoy music. I play percussion and have been doing so for a few years. I am currently studying in grade 12. The style of music that I like to listen to that excites my ear is Hip Hop/ R&B along with electronic instrumentals. My music influences include artists like Destiny’s child which my Auntie used to pump all the time when I was living with her as a child. I only recently discovered my interest in electronic music when the trap scene rose and the African American in me couldn’t resist its heavy and simple tunes. I hope to gain more knowledge of the performance side of music through the formation of our new band ‘Sheep of the Kiwi’ which will help in my quest to join the music industry. 

A little bit about Shearah :)

Hey my name’s Shearah-Rose Spears and I’m 16 years old.I was born on the 5^th of September (just in-case you wanted to send me a birthday card), and I live on the Sunshine Coast.

 I love love love music! Music is life, and without music, there is no life! Music runs in my veins, and has since the day I was born.

I have always had a passion for performing. Ranging from theatrical drama performances, musicals, on-screen work…and finally singing! The adrenalin I get from performing encouraged me to join the newly formed band “Sheep of the Kiwi”. The diva known as Beyonce’, Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cooke, Billie Holiday and Michael Bubble are just a few artists that inspire me to be me! They are my inspiration and my oxygen, and I breathe their musical talent.

About Ben

One of Sheep Of The Kiwi’s keys founder members is bassist/drummer, Benjamin Napier. Ben Grew up On the Sunshine Coast, with a childhood filled with wanderlust and happiness. His love for music has been something that he has cultivated since the age of 9 where he first started to play the drums. Around this time was when he was first introduced to two of the current Kiwi members Shearah and Josh. His influences include Battleships, Rage Against The Machine, Mumford & Sons and Bring Me The Horizon. With all of these bands style and flavours coming together to make the ground breaking, Sheep Of The Kiwi style. We all hope to pursue a career in the music industry to the extent and massive fame and fortune, at the level of bands like Rage Against The Machine.
