About Me

I'm 1/3rd of the group Everything That's Fly along with Pig & Pearl. My role is essentially the primary producer, engineer and DJ for live gigs (a bit of writing too). I also run a little ProTools-based home recording studio called Magomus Sounds where I record, mix and do some basic mastering for a bunch of local clients. My work has been featured on college radio, commercial music radio, Much Music, corporate videos, CDs and vinyl. Notable clients/collaborators include: Syntifik, Via Linez, Kawzee, J-Staxxx, Arabesque, Shaun Boothe aka Rikoshay, Nicolay of Foreign Exchange, Von Pea of Tanya Morgan, Internash Fam, and many others. Aside from that, I was born in 1981, grew up in Richmond Hill (outside Toronto) and I love Guinness.
