Music...what can I say? I love it. Sure, I'm grateful for having studied piano, saxophone and violin but drumming is where it's at for me. Although Toronto is my stomping ground, I've performed and recorded in the US and Europe as well. My taste in music is all over the radar. But when all's said and done, my heart is in good ol' raunchy rock & roll. Out of all the talented artists I've worked with over the years, I've recorded and performed more with Nigel S than with anybody else. The man's a [mad] genius.

I love traveling and seeing [exotic] new places. The more I see, the less I've scratched the surface.

See ya out there!

Cheers,
Jonny
