Here’s a roughly hacked out bio about me for those who like to read roughly hacked out bios written by people about themselves in the third person who are too lazy to change it back to the first person even though third person makes no sense on a blog

Séamus was brought up by a colorful mixture of Free-Love Hippies and Born Again Fundamentalists - but somehow he survived intact.

Then straight out of school, he cut his teeth rocking the town of Adelaide, South Australia during the nineties in cult band Reckoning. They did pretty good, for a bunch of slacker freaks - until the hammer came down.

By the age of twenty-two, Reckoning had imploded and Seamus was one feral freak indeed. On the run from the law, under cover of darkness, and wearing clothing inappropriate for the weather, he moved to Melbourne, Australia and turned to managing a health cafe whilst simultaneously struggling with a substance abuse challenge.

At the time, the irony was completely lost on him.

He then developed a passion for psychedelic meditation which enabled him to get back on the good-foot, and subsequently joined the band Quill. They did ok for a bit, but the heat was closing in, so Séamus stowed away on a rusty freighter and went adventuring through South East Asia until he got stuck - cashless and dazed by the bright lights in Japan.

After doing solo gigs in Tokyo to pay his way home (and doing some more meditation), he cruised back to Melbourne, where he was welcomed home by a pyscho who beat the living shit out of him at Greasy Joe’s in St Kilda. Once his broken bones healed, Seamus spent a few years playing in the front bars of Melbourne, honing his craft and always writing new songs.

Since then he has run a nightclub, made coffee in countless Melbourne cafes, had about 15 articles professionally published in print and on the web (sample1, sample2), wrote a thriller novel (unpublished, possibly crap), taught meditation, travelled to France, Ireland, Belgium, England, Malaysia, Vanuatu, and up the Australian East Coast, worked in the corporate sector (yuk), and become a father. He now works from home running Rebel Zen Media, with Steven Mills. RZM’s major commercial client at present is LivingNow (we built and manage their website) and there is more afoot.

Ok I am sick of talking about myself in the third person. I just finished a new collection of songs which sound a bit like this and which is available to buy on CD now. And there are several other new musical, written and entrepreneurial adventures about to hit the streets, (including a collaboration with Peter Owen from Reckoning).

*Well that’s my professional name, in reality you have to stick ‘Ennis’ on the end of all that, which would be fine but I don’t fancy a Google war with this Seamus Ennis.
