His sound is a contemporary mix of the singer/songwriter path and the warm African sounds that surrounded him. African rhythms pulse under Celtic melodies, high life guitar lines mix with country, blues groove tunes and straight ahead pop songs display Auld''s love of counterpoint and harmony. ..all while keeping his casual one-take production philosophy.

After school he immersed himself in the beach counterculture and considered becoming a pro surfer at one stage while doing a variety of day jobs from calamari fishing to leatherwork.
