I WAS

born into a family where several relatives are classically trained.

I was not. I decided to make it on a 'perfect ear' alone.

I was involved in several bands in my 20s, originally as a rhythm guitarist/keyboardist, and writer, for a three piece band, then after losing my left index finger, I was a keyboardist, and writer for two bands (with some drums); eventually becoming an engineer of sorts out of shear desperation and necessity. The true progressive garage band experience I guess you would say.

It wasnt until 2006, more than 15 years after playing live in a band, when I dusted off my Roland HS-60 studio board following years of neglect, and decided to get back to jamming again. It had been such a long a time; it felt amazing and was then that I decided to start writing again. Here we are today... over 170 songs in, and 18 years on ~ from idiot high school kids kicking it around in a Mississauga basement, to where I am now. I'm older and more in love with creating music now than ever before. I have been lucky to meet some key people over the years, who are gifted musicians, and, have taught me a lot about music; inspiring me to move forward trying new things with my work.

I love the process, the collaborations, and posting new music. My trip is cajoling these sounds into becoming moments together. I hope you enjoy my work.

Thank you for listening!
