About Me

I’m a guitarist, arranger and composer living in Toronto. My musical interests are pretty diverse and so I play a few different instruments (Guitar, Tres, Mandolin, Bass and Piano) and many different styles including Jazz, Blues, Latin, Flamenco, Funk and Rock. I’ve played in many different bands and aside from my own Jazz/Blues project right now I am also playing with Sabor latin jazz and other musicians around the city. I love travelling and hope the music takes me to some interesting places. New York and New Orleans are two special cities in which I someday hope to live in or perform regularly.Apart from the Jazz and Latin music that I write, I am also interested in symphonic and chamber music. The song ’Some Sunday’ on my profile is an excerpt from a symphonic poem called Some Sunday in April that I am currently working on and which, along with some other pieces, I hope to have performed live in the near future.
