I play a bunch of instruments /
Some better than others /
I became addicted to the guitar at the age of 10 /
But I love just about anything that makes sound /
With the exception of Kenny G / /
I grew up across the river from Motown /
in the forgotten city of Windsor, Ontario /
where I was first influenced by my parent’s 70s pop records /
and The Beatles – lots of them /
then New Wave came around /
the original new wave //
I’m a steadfast music fan /
I admire producers as much as I do musicians /
And hope to one day have the chance to score for film //
I find texture and mood fascinating /
And do my best to tell a story /
When performing, writing or recording //
As a result /
I have been fortunate enough to work with some very talented people /
Both as an instrumentalist and a producer //
I have numerous musical releases /
Most of which will never be heard /
If I have anything to do with it /
My first cassette was released in my last year of highschool /
It is now safely locked away /
With the others //
I am most proud of Dream At Harmony Motel /
And the DRAGON! e.p. //
Some of my music has been used in film and television //
I enjoy listening to sixties lounge music,
surf, neo-classical and minimalism
film soundtracks, mellow singer-songwriters /
And just about anything else /
Except Kenny G //
I’ve been told my sense of humour
can be too dark /
But I took care of that person //
I am extremely proud to be involved with the music /
And the people behind the music in my life //
If you were hoping for something more specific...
