About Me

I have an insane obsession for the biggest passion and love in my life; MUSIC. I can't go without it in any way shape or form. It's a core part of who I am. I've majored in audio engineering and entertainment management. I've situated myself in Toronto and am working at a music publishing company; Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency (CMRRA). I also do show/cd review's and interview bands for an online website. I love Toronto's music scene, so you can usually find me around the local bars on Queen St. checking out a band. I hope to meet some of you in mine and your travels. Cheers.
