You're soooooo good lookin'!

About Me

Well, I guess I'm a bit of a singer/songwriter kinda guy, playing mostly with my band Livingroom, but also playing with my two older brothers and a good friend as part of the band Terns. Currently I'm studying drums at Humber College in Toronto. I've had the pleasure and continue to have the pleasure of studying under some of Toronto's finest musicians and educators - Kirk MacDonald, Nancy Walker, Don Vickery, Steve Mancuso, Mark Kelso, Shannon Gunn, Rob Bulger, Kelsey Grant, Colleen Allen, Andy Ballantyne and more. The invaluable information I've learned at Humber has greatly developed and inlfuenced my playing as well as my own compositions and arrangements, regardless of the fact that, for the most part, they're "just pop songs." My desire is to eventually work professionally as a musician and to teach privately in addition to either high school or post secondary music. I've been writing mediocre songs for a while now, but hopefully one of my songs will make it big and I can afford to skip class and take us all out for dinner. Thanks for looking, reading and listening. Cheers.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

Gig Hiatus

This is actually my first blog.  So I'm saying "hello," but I'm also saying a temporary "goodbye" to the stage.  I've decided to take some time off from playing gigs and other shows to focus...
