About Me

So, I was thinking....many artists write their bios in the third person. I started to, but it just sounded strange!! So, here goes.....I'm originally from North Bay, Ontario. Currently about a week away from getting my Phd in Applied Social Psychology through the University of Windsor and working as Director of Organizational Development at Guelph General Hospital.I've been singing since I was 11 years old. But, music had to take a back seat for a while while I completed a personal goal of finishing graduate school and becoming Dr. Thorn.Now that that part of my life is SO close to being done, I'm ready to focus on my music. I'm in the process of putting a band together, getting ready to get back into performing live and continuing to hone my songwriting skills.I've been fortunate lately with recent accomplishments including winning the Ontario Open Country Singing Contest (2007), the Northern Ontario Open Country Singing Contest (2005, 2007), the Uptown Waterloo Starquest Competition (2007) which had me attending the recent Canadian Country Music Awards in Regina and placing second in the songwriters category at the Canadian Open Country Singing Contest (2005).I've been working on some demos at Cedartree Studios in Kitchener, Ontario and I CANNOT wait for what's to come.......
