 Rowan started his musical career at age 17. His main influences include The Damned, The Ramones, Chuck Berry, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Edmonds and anything Steve Marriott was ever involved in.

Playing with bands ‘The Ainsworths’ and ‘The Dabs’, Rowan was part of the north shore invasion of post punk bands that dominated the Auckland music scene in the early 80s. In 1983, Rowan joined ‘The Henchman’, and released “We’ve come to play”, an album which is considered one of the best New Zealand punk rock albums of its time.

Rowan has played in many bands including ‘The Midnite Movers’, ‘Sound Shock’, ‘Theory and Soul’, ‘Rick Bryant’ and the ‘Jive Bombers’. Touring extensively and playing at the Sweetwater festival many times, he has shared the stage with the likes of ‘UB40′ and ‘Motor Head’.

After moving to Australia in the late 80s, Rowan has played in various cover bands and associated country bands through to the 2000s. He is now finding his niche in The Chameleonz playing a range of popular crowd pleasing covers.

Steve's first set of drums was four ice-cream containers nailed to a pallet at age 13. Over the last 30 years playing in blues, rock, pop and metal bands.

Prior to the Chameleonz, Steve played across New Zealand in a Metal Rock band called Ragged Edge, and in Sydney with Goodbye Monday and most recently completed touring the David Bowie 'Golden Years' tribute show across Sydney.

TC was inspired to become a musician when he worked for the Rolling Stones in London. How hard could this be, he asked himself? Thousands of dollars and hundreds of heartbreaks later, he still has no regrets. It's a load of fun. He's played with many of Sydney's top cover bands, including a stint with Eye of the Tiger. As is well known in the industry, if you're a bass player or drummer and haven't been fired or left Eye of the Tiger on bad terms, then you haven't made it in Sydney.

He is now super pumped to be a Chameleon. Good music, good musicians and good people. Rock on!

Ace was born in Indonesia. He comes from a musical family, so naturally music became his life. Ace's primary instrument is the guitar, however he is also a skilled bassist and drummer. 

Strongly influenced by the guitar greats such as Van Halen and Jimmy Hendrix.  Ace has played in numerous bands such as Sahara, The Tomatos and duo The Koota Groove.

A well-versed session player, Ace was endorsed by guitar manufacturers  Hardee and Gilmour. He recorded his first solo instrumental album Gitar Klinik in 1999. Currently Ace is working on his second album 27 Volltz, due to be released late 2023.

Mike is an award winning jingle writer and musician, hailing from Auckland New Zealand. Mike is a multi instrumentalist with a love of jazz piano – he plays in a number of local bands and you’ll often see him in pubs and clubs with Sydney’s Golden Years of David Bowie tribute band.

With a long history of playing jazz festivals and touring rock concerts, he has fostered treasured music connections in Australia and New Zealand. This is combined with a long career in radio producing jingles for radio and television, as well as many stints behind the microphone.  

Being of Maori descent, Mike has composed cultural original music and performed alongside many Maori artists.
