About Me

I go under the name of Audiophiliac for the original compositional work I do with other vocalists. I am a drummer who writes music in a dance/pop/club style and I work with vocalists to add texture to my music. I don't write words or melodies...all work is done in a partnership with the singers given complete artistic freedom.

I got my first pair of drumsticks at 12 and acquired my first drum kit at 14.. I started playing bass at 16. Guitar and keyboards followed later... I started working with MIDI technology in 1982 with application towards drumming and composition. I knew when I saw my first drum machine in the recording studio that if drummers didn't embrace the technology, they'd be out of work!!
I moved to the UK in 1988 to further my career in music. (Canada is a big place with a small population and it's almost impossible to make a living playing original music). At the time, I was trying to hook up with DJ's and MC's but no one was interested...6 months after I moved to the UK, the Stereo MC's go large!!! Talk about prophetic...lol
I've been using Cubase since 1994 (Atari, PC and Mac) and FL Studio since v.2. I'm also a power user of Hammerhead, Adobe Audition, Recycle and Acid I run a small PC based recording studio set-up presently based at Southwark Bridge Road where I can compose and record both for myself and others.
I am presently in the market for a new project, possibly live drum 'n bass/breakbeat....but I'm open for offers if I enjoy the music! PUT YOUR BIO SECTION HERE! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profile
