Biography:

I am a songwriter, full-time musician, vocalist and social entrepreneur. My style is a hybrid of classical, jazz, soul, funk, pop and indie vocal exploration. I grew up to the sounds of the Nihilist Spasm Band and other avant garde groups in Greg Curnoe era London Ontario. I played in The Airfields in Toronto in the 2000s, and collab'd with Eugene Slonimerov and Owen Pallett. Have done creative collabs in Lyon, France and Denver, Colorado and sang in the chorus of the Icelandic National Opera. I studied voice with Tina Torlone, Jason Davis, Lucy Hayes-Davis and now Janice Jackson.

Based now in Halifax, I am actively writing songs and recording demos at Spaces Between studios with David Scholten. I was the songwriter and vocalist for the band Mother of Girl (Guelph Jazz Festival, Casa del Popolo, Out Like a Lion, Creative NS Awards), and participated in Janice Jackson's Opera From Scratch. In addition to these musical endeavours, I also co-founded Youth Art Connection a charity that supports priority youth through the power of the arts.

Last year, I founded Fuller Terrace Productions, with the aim of making songwriting and publishing my full time work for the coming decades. Am grateful to be part of this group of Canadian Songwriters.
