Born and raised in the rural town of Gympie in south-east Queensland. Graham began to write songs professionally in 1991. In 1992, he received a phone call from the late Slim Dusty. Slim asked permission to record a song that Graham had written, and the song "You Can't Take Australia From Me" was subsequently recorded and released on the album "Ringer From the Top End". Slim recorded a number of Graham's songs. Other country music recording artists who have chosen Graham's songs include Brian Letton, Glenn Jones, Dean Perrett, Tom Maxwell, Jeff Brown, Bob Easter, Melissa Bajric, Nathan Charlton, Brad Blanck and Dave McCallum.


In July 1998, Graham released his first album, "Steering Wheel Drovers". The album contained all his own songs and achieved considerable success around the country. One of the tracks, "The Drysdale River", reached the top ten in the Australian Country Music Charts. From this album came a string of Award nominations, which set Graham firmly on a new path as a professional entertainer, appearing at major Country Music Festivals around Australia, including Tamworth, Bungendore, Emerald and Mildura.


The year 2002 saw the release of yet another album of self penned songs, "The Colours of Australia". This album capitalised on the succcess of the first, and set the wheels in motion for a number of finals nominations and major awards at the 2003 and 2004 Tamworth Country Music Festivals.


May 2004 - Graham released his third album "A Gypsy's Life" under the Austrak Music label. This album has eclipsed the success of the first two albums and captures the wonderful writing and vocals qualities of Graham. The Album contains the traditional ballad as well as comedy, love and human intrest songs. It was a finalist in The Album of the Year 2005. "The Matilda Highway" won the TSA Songwriter's Salute Award 2005 and "Lets Keep Australia, Australia" won the Tasmanian & New Zealand Songwriting Contest 2005. "The Matilda Highway" came in third in this competition. Wow what a great success story.

Graham's fifth Album "Muster on The Great Divide" was released at Tamworth 2006 and will have nominations in the competitions for 2007. Preview reports have given it rave reviews. This album has different music backing and there is a lovely duo with Julie as well as great harmonies. Graham has included a song in tribute to our modern ANZACS with the Song "Battle of Long Tan" it is a very graphic account of this battle 40 years ago when our young men overcame such unbelievable odds to gain victory. The Song "Down At the Pub on a Friday Night" is a song that will rival "Have a Beer with Duncan", haven't met anyone yet, who has heard it, who cannot relate to its sentiments. "Woolshed Ball" has a touch of rock n roll feel, and "The Bushman" will bring tears to your eyes. Graham is proud to present this new album for your enjoyment. He can't believe it but radio presenters have told him that this is the best to date. Hope it gives him the Golden Guitar which he justly deserves.
