About Me

I'm a saxophonist, composer and arranger from Montreal. I also double on flute and clarinet for the occasional gig. I'm studying at Vanier College in Jazz Composition + Arranging and plan to go on to McGill University in Jazz Performance. Check out the tunes, although most of them are old and outdated.

The New Black - "Metro" (I sometimes play with this group of outstanding musicans: Max Clark-Dent on guitar, Shaun Ryan on bass, Alex Thibault on drums, and for this special video, Isaac Gesse on Trumpet, Zach Frampton at the keyboard, and myself on alto saxophone.)
