Hey there everyone I'm Matt, here's hoping the world is treating you kindly.

Greg is a great friend and a truly talented artist, he inspires people to do great things and in my case inspires me to simply be a better person each and every day. He has given me this opportunity to spread my passion for music with you all and I hope that I can spark an energy, a feeling or even something as simple as a smile each week when you read my post. My goal is TO enlighten you all through a piece of music that I love, this may be because of the lyrics, the artist, the feeling that it conjures or a memory that it evokes, the possibilities are truly endless. I would love to hear your feedback once you have taken the musical journey each week and let us know what you think. Brace yourself people the trip is about to begin..............


Do you know a or have a person that amazes you? Somebody that constantly displays a skill/talent or quality that when you think about it during a fleeting moment of silence it makes you shake your head and say wow. I know many people like this in my life - My wife & kids make me feel like this every day & my brother.

The artist in this link is a man by the name of Benjamin Paul Ballance-Drew, otherwise know in musical circles as 'PLAN B'. An English artist that decided on his name after initially trying his hand at R&B (as an 18 year old) then later deciding that this was not his thing (nor mine). Plan B is one amazing guy that when you sit back and think about exactly what he can do it should truly inspire you all to give something new a go. When you think of most musicians you would probably assume that they can sing possibly play an instrument or 2 and maybe even write a few songs. Well....

Check this out for a resume - Singer, Songwriter, Musician (guitar - self taught at 14), Rapper, Poet, author, actor, movie writer, movie producer and as he describes himself a 'Real life storyteller'.

The song you are about to hear is a live version of a song that came out in 2010 that I really loved, quite honestly I thought it was two totally different people singing until I dug a little deeper. Performed from RAK studios in London, this is a unique version of his song "She Said".

Kristen & Mike, Darling Harbour Sydney Wedding by Greg & Loretta Dries

Loretta & I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this perfect wedding for a perfect couple...

Kristen & Mikes planning was meticulous, their ceremony was at one of my favourite places in Sydney, the Chinese Gardens at Darling Harbour, followed by a reception at the Imax Theatre which enjoys 180 degree views of Darling Harbour....

Hope you enjoy this snapshot of their day

Cheers Greg
