I started playing cello at the age of three and looking back on it with these older eyes I have to admit that I have always had an intense attraction to songs that are sad, soft and beautiful. I actually cried the first time I heard Albanonis adagio for strings (I was like 5) and its always stuck with me. I ended up studying music in University (drums and voice) and playing in many different kinds of bands from rock to jazz. Ultimately though, I have always wanted to be able to create songs that in some way come from that same place in me that felt so much for the music that defined my childhood, beautiful music.
I try to capture the moments that are my life in the songs that I create. I take things that for whatever reason, be it good, bad or sad have moved me in some way. I wrap them up in sounds that I think are cool and fit what I am trying to say. I try to ride that thin line of mixing technology with some heart and I try not to cloud the original intention of the song. Basically I like pretty things and in turn I am trying to make pretty things
Life is about tasting things. Taking them in. I hope you like the tastes that I have put up here for you.

OMG! i just watched this video of of you performing live. its so beautiful to see you creating such heart felt melodies. it really inspires me to be intouch with my own personal beauty within, and to strive to create a continuous flow of peace and love from the inside out. thank you!
we are so utterly depressed that you are not coming to LA we were really looking forward to it! please let us know if you do make it out here one day..
ThaT is great!! hopefully it will be before I move to San Francisco!! In a about a year and a half! So are you still in Montreal??? If not I know you miss your beautiful apartment. I love being in my own space.
you know what i like about your music? Its real. When i first was listening to it I was like "hey, this song feels" as in, it has a feeling, rather than just an empty shell trying to point out a meaning. Your song has feeling and points out a meaning as it progresses.. Then I read your abouts/ information and I was like "wow. okay so, right on.."
Hello Mikey...how are you darling? What was the name of that film you said I just had to see? I have been working far too hard at work. This latest record release is kicking my ass. Its time I take a break for sake of my sanity. Nothing fills time better then a good foreign flick.
Ring me sometime...tell me your stories...distraction is in order.
Fack dude I didn't think you'd actually respond haha! wicked!
I'm going to do my internship at Rogers Television from September through to January..
Your music hits me somewhere emotionally, can't really explain.. I'd love to see how and where you work, and maybe make some music together.. I play the drums but my head is always filled with good ideas..
