About Me


I like to stay productive; check this out for some more elaborate information on what it is I do, such as:
I can't say that I identify much with the teased-hair-awkward-angle-photo or general shmooze-fest side of Myspace, but it is undeniably a cool avenue for a humble musician and artist to present his or her compositions. It also deserves a lot of credit for letting me find some great new-to-me artists.
The recordings for my songs are just me with a friend or two. I am pretty much consumed in this art form; hopefully I will progress as a songwriter in humility with respect to the greats I've listed under 'influences' to the left.
"Head of Steam" was written and recorded in my parents' basement over Christmas break.
"Searchin' Searchin" was recorded in a basement in north-end Dartmouth, NS and some at my house in Wolfville, NS.
"Fingers Crossed" was written not long after my 20th birthday, and was recorded in Acadia University's studio and my living room.
All my songs are mixed within the comfy confines of my bedroom with my arguably antiquated yet trusty equipment. Feel free to download the higher quality mp3s here .
