About Me

I started playing the guitar at the age of twelve in my hometown of Lachute, Quebec. I graduated with a Jazz degree from Vanier College including a third year specializing in Jazz composition, arranging and improvisation. I just finished my Bachelor's degree in Jazz Guitar Performance at McGill University. My present musical projects include: lead guitarist in funk/soul band GrooveAttic, lead guitarist for Kweku & The Movement, Bionik Trio, Jazz quartet Scudworth, Monica Shore Quintet, and other periodic Jazz/Rock/Soul engagements.
