There's a buzz word in the Australian musical theatre scene right now, it's iOTA. If that name doesn't mean anything to you yet, it will soon & you'll be wondering why someone hadn't whispered it in your ear sooner. An accomplished singer songwriter with several ARIA nominations, iOTA's most recent offering is "Beauty Queen Of The Sea". His sound is rather undefinable but a few words that come to mind are haunting and dramatic. He has a raw energy and soul that is captured even in his studio albums. He oozes authenticity that is rarely seen, or heard.

iOTA begun his foray into musical theatre with his acclaimed role in the cult musical, "Hedwig and The Angry Inch". A performance that saw him awarded the Helpmann Award for Best Male Actor In A Musical beating the likes of Hugh Jackman. This proved a valuable stepping stone to his next two roles, Berlin, a Sydney Dance Company production and his current role as Frank N Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The Rocky Horror Picture Show, currently showing at Sydney's Star City Casino, is introducing iOTA to a much wider audience. With eight shows a week and a predicted run of 14 months, the show is transforming iOTA from talented, industry known musician to superstar of the stage. Perhaps in due time, he will be a star of the screen also, iOTA states that he hopes the next step in his career will be film.
