About Me

Generally, I'm a solo artist, but hook up with various bands when needed or asked. I have been studying music since I was 9, and performing since then as well. I write, sing, and perform my own stuff with my piano. My music has a dark edge, and has an eerie, melancholy feel. I do have a couple up tempo tunes... but I prefer to write when I'm thinking or sad. When I'm happy, I prefer to be out hiking, jogging, camping, or just hanging with my friends. I plan on performing lots in the next year, and taking a leave of absence from my day job of teaching.I recently recorded and released my first Album "Black ThunderBird". So far it has done really well. I can be heard on CKDR, CBC, CFWE, CILU and a few other stations across Canada (and a couple in the states). I'm still writing up a storm, and preparing for CD 2.Paul LaChapelle, who owns and operates Quest Recording in Oshawa, Ontario did the recording. He was awesome, and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend him!!!! Also, a special thanks to Darrin Smith for the wonderful arranging he did. Also, a huge thanks to the Ontario Arts Council for the grant to complete the CD, as well as to the Metis Association for their continued support.
