About Me

Chapter One - Beginning

    Hailing from Brampton, Ontario, Canada I began to take on this music world a couple of years ago as a solo artist. After highschool I began playing songs I'd written on stages in Brampton, Guelph, and Toronto. Slowly I made my way south of the border to Penn State University where I enrolled in 2005. By the end of my freshman year I had found myself sharing PSU's best stages with some of the areas best performers.

Chapter Two - Percussion

    In late March 2006, Mike Leon, my brother, decided to hop on board and contribute his drumming prowess to my music. After playing gigs throughout southern Ontario we had found ourselves ripe with music and lyrics but nowhere to lay the tracks down. After a long summer of gigging and working at new material we decided to make our first ever album over that Christmas break. At Conservation Studios in Brampton, Ontario 13 tracks were to become "Ready", our first album.

Chapter Three - Third Wheel

    In the early weeks of June 2007 Mike and I met up with Adam Montgomery, a friend from highschool, to discuss him jumping on board with us as lead guitarist and bassist. After just one jam session new songs with a new sound began to spill out of our amplifiers and it became apparent that two had become three.

Help us make our Chapter Four

Yours in melody,
