Here's a video for my co-write with Darren Hayes. It's one of my favourite songs I've written.
Last year I produced and wrote Emmy Rossum's debut album, signed to GEFFEN by Ron Fair. The EP went to 2 on the pop iTunes charts and 8 overall, I also wrote every song with Emmy, so this project was really a labour of love.....hope YOU love it too!.
Here's the video for Emmy's single, "Slow Me Down."
I'm currently in the studio with a great new artist, Jenna Beck. Check her out at www.myspace.com/jennabeckmusic.
Also recently worked with/for: Lenka (EPIC), producing the first single "The Show," as well as two other songs for her album, now available on iTunes, Aaron Barnhart.

Not so random facts:
1. Born in Canada
2. Live in LA
3. Piano and violin player, studied music at University, bailed on being a music teacher, thank god. No offense to music teachers, just not for me.
4. I have engineered records for Michael Jackson, Don Henley, Seal, The Eagles, The Matrix, Anastasia, Brandy, Cher, NSYNC, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, written songs for Don Henley, Darren Hayes, Brandy, Jump5, Lucy Woodward, Kate Alexa, produced records for Brandy, AVION, Nick Lachey, Emm Gryner, The Tories.
5. Love Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. ALOT.
6. I write songs. I produce songs. I record songs. I mix songs. Some of them are good.
7. I have my own studio called The Backyard.
8.. I am happiest when I'm too busy.
9. Hockey is the only sport I really care about.
10. This list is probably too long.
11. I have five sisters, and I'm still mostly normal.
12. I can't imagine doing anything else with my life, except maybe buying a farmhouse and turning it into a delicious restaurant, or maybe buying a ticket to Mars whenever we get that happening. I just re-read that last sentence, and the restaurant itself wouldn't be delicious, rather the food that comes from the kitchen.
Here's the video for Don Henley's "Taking You Home", which I wrote. It went to 1 on the BIllboard Charts.
Here's the video for AVION's 2004 Top 20 Billboard hit "Seven Days Without You" that I wrote and produced with Steve Bertrand.
