I am a musician and a proud Canadian. I am originally from a small town just outside of Montreal called Le Gardeur in Quebec. I moved to, and lived in Las Vegas, NV for about 12 years which is where I began my life-long journey in Metal. In 2000 I founded the Swedish-style death metal band Garden of the Gods. The band eventually broke up in 2002 and I joined Death II All. We signed to Embryo Records in 2003 and played multiple festivals in the South-Western United States as well as opened for such bands as Exhumed, Vehemence, Origin, Strapping Young Lad, Deicide, Nile, and many others. In 2004, I returned home to Canada, this time settling down in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. Since returning I kept quiet, concentrating on my own projects. I briefly sang for Tyrants Blood (featuring exmembers of Blasphemy and Omega Crom) but left about a year later for personal reasons. I also took over darksoul7.com in late 2004 and reigned as the director of operations until April 2007. In early 2005, I joined Ritual Demise, a band I had seen perform the previous year and loved. I am now the full-time bassist and back-up vocalist in the band. In February of 2006, I married my wife, the most wonderful woman I have ever met.
Ritual Demise is currently working on our debut album, slated for release in early 2008.
I am now the bassist in the black metal band Artep.
