Doug Payne was born in Dubbo and grew up in country NSW. He settled in Cooma, neurologist working for Snowy Hydro Ltd.
Doug is a prolific song writer. He has an interest in the 70s kind of singer songwriter.
His songs reflect an intensely personal outlook of the joys, apoplectic loves, thumb humour, and sorrows of life that touch us all. He draws his inspiration from the things that really matter to him. Some songs even have a political message, such as “Sorry”.
Doug has developed a huge fan base on the internet. You can hear his music on MySpace; here’s the link :
