About Me

I'm a Jamaican musician/producer currently based in Toronto. I've been playing shows since my early teens and I have extensive experience as a lead guitarist and bassist live and in the studio. Currently, I'm working as a session guitarist/bassist and producing music in downtown Toronto, as well as gigging in and around the city. I perform as a guitarist/bassist for local and international acts, mostly Reggae, Dancehall, R&B, Pop etc. and I compose, engineer and produce original music.
Some of my professional experience includes the "How Can I be Down" tour, Caribana, Ottawa Reggae Festival, NXNE and I've performed and/or recorded with Errol "The Mighty" Organs, King Culture, Snow, Tanya Mullings, Basil Gayle, CBC Studios, Humble, Farenheit, Mr Flowas, Korexion, Carl Henry and many other talented people.
