About Me
Trained in jazz at both York University and Humber College, I have been playing professionally for more than ten years in a variety of contexts, including folk, funk, jazz, R&B, pop, and classical. My list of credits includes recording with Junetile (with Michael Philip Wojewoda), Metal KItes, Brian MacMillan, Vaery Gore, the DoneFors, Miranda Stone, Mary Simon, Nick Zubeck, Lily Frost, Tamara Williamson, and Daniel Iorio. My own music, while jazz-based and instrumental, is a mixed bag of influences: acoustic Bruce Cockburn meets electric Miles Davis; Radiohead meets Dave Douglas, with a splash of the iconic Rheostatics and Sex Mob to boot.
