...Float upon the Notion.

About Me

I just moved to Toronto, Canada to join the band "Sound and Fury". We just finishing recording the debut album "The Wild Ones". We'll be touring Canada and the US this year. Including 2 dates on the Vans Warped Tour in Vancouver and Calgary!! Awesome.About me---???...A passion for sound, particularly heart felt, progressive-dynamic rock music but you know how it goes...I love it all!!! Roots Rock Reggae!!!I love to perform...preferably with an instrument to channel through, I'm no cabaret star or circus clown...although, I'd be up for the challenge.I love the illusion of life, the magic of spontaneity, the rush of the chase, relishing in success, starry nights...and walks on the beach....I get out into the wilderness whenever I can. Coastal missions, outdoor festivals...no need to ask me twice!!Once upon a time...I created a New Years Eve event in Nelson called THE CUSP. I ran the event for 3 years but I had to let it go so I could travel abroad. We hosted some awesome bands over the years including Shihad, 1QA, Betchadupa, Fat Freddys Drop, Fur Patrol, Kora, Paselode, Degrees.k, Mother Guru, 16 oz's to name a few...In 2004 I sailed a 42 ft Catamaran with 2 friends from Nelson, NZ to Vancouver, Canada. We sailed via Rarotonga and Hawaii...without a doubt the most epic journey of my life thus far...keen for more!!!I've been in a number of bands over the years...some notable mentions...Mother Guru, 16 oz., Great Southern Electrics, The Visited, Alchemy Blvd, Rocket Candy and currently, Sound and Fury.Music is my life....I live it, breathe it, create it...every day. My Dad is 59 years young, singing most weekends with his band "Out of the Blue" in Auckland, NZ. He says music is his vitamin. Pretty much sums it up for me....love and light======================================================= === ============================================================ ======================================================== ============================================================ ======================================================== ==========================================================
