Discussing his approach to songwriting, Curren stated: “I try to write songs that I would want to listen to, incorporating different musical styles. It’s a challenge to write songs that are accessible and still make them distinctive. I want to make music that has a positive impact. I try to be positive, and realistic about what I’m writing about.”
Curren’s played the drums, guitar, and even the ukulele from an early age and after a successful surfing career, he turned his full attention to music at age 26. His years surfing helped inform his musical stylings, and his influences also include jazz, acoustic guitar melodies, and African music.
