Growing up in Canberra, he studied with renowned bassists Eric Ajaye and Max McBride at the Australian National University and began pursuing opportunities performing jazz, classical, rock and other styles of music.
Gareth’s dedication to his craft led to travel to New York where he studied with legendary bassists Rufus Reid and John Patitucci, as well as building links with musicians in its experimental jazz scene. He has performed with diverse artists such as jazz greats Bernie McGann, Bob Sedergreen, Ted Vining and Don Burrows, as well as classical figures Thomas Ades and Brett Dean. Gareth is deeply involved with the vibrant music scene of Melbourne with ensembles Blow and the Ted Vining Trio, as well as engagements with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Orchestra Victoria.
