His love for good times and good people is seen through his dedication and enthusiasm for the local and national music scenes.
RPG is best known all over Canada for his work with Canada's very own Moses Mayes , who've played well over 400 shows since there inception in 1999. The band won the 2001 Prairie Music Awards for Best Urban/Dance Recording, was again nominated in 2005 for the Western Canadian Music Award for Best Instrumental Album 'Needle to the Groove and won a WCMA for Best Instrumental for thier latest release 'Second Ring'. With their blistering live show and indie success albums, Moses Mayes has easily become one of Canada's most exciting dance funkfusion collectives. Moses released a new record 'Second Ring' that broke the campus top20 charts, received national and international acclaim and resulted in 3 national tours and appearances at the Montreal Jazz Festival, Vancouver International Jazz Festival and 10,000 LakesCheck out Moses Mayes at www.myspace.com/mosesmayes
