Band Members: I do a lot of collaborations these days and live gigs with all sorts of people.
My amazing brother Mario Vaira is usually part of the process wheather he's playing guitar, layin down a freestyle or helping with recording.
The bedroom studio tracks featured here were recorded with three different producers depending on which one: Mario Vaira, Clarence Chu, Alex Escott.
All Odds and Ends tracks were recorded with Mario Vaira.
I've also done some demos with Alex Maher.
There's a new project on the go with Clarence Chu which we have tentatively named true-fold. This is to be a full length album of ass-shakin' electronic tracks which I'm pretty excited about. Playing live usually involves Ryan Stewart on drums, my bro on guitar, Jay Davies on Bass, and if I'm lucky, MC Dosia rhymin or Alex Maher playin some sax.
Influences: The everyday events and happenings of life and the natural world around me. As well as Ani Difranco, Beady Belle, Erykah Badu, Esthero, Jill Scott, Bjork, Sarah Vaughn, Lauryn Hill, Zero 7, Jimmy Cliff, Stereolab, DJ Krush, Nightmares On Wax, Toots and the Maytals, Sublime, Tribe Called Quest, Roots Manuva, Calexico, Gentlemen, Iron and wine, Kings of Convenience, Death Cab for Cutie, The Police, Elliot Smith and so many others it would take forever to type.
