About


 

I have been playing, writing, singing, and procrastinating since a very young age (5 or so to be exact), and after many years of studying music (Classical, Theatre, and Jazz), I decided to venture out into the great Montreal music scene with all the passion and excitement of someone who has no idea what their doing...

There were many lead ups to my first musical colaboration - many of them in Ottawa before I moved to Montreal - and many of them at open mic nights, testing out the waters with cover tunes and testing my guitar skills and over-all comfort levels of performance. I have always been somewhat shy - and somehow shyness challenges me.

 My first "settling" was with The Urban Element, a combination of Chris Cameron's production and electronic music construction knowledge/talent, and my more folky, jazzy vocal melody thingy that I do. This project led to two deals with King-A-Groove Records on two separate compilations entitled The Future Sounds of Montreal and FSM2.  Later The Urban Element turned into a quartet leading us to a new improved sound with the help of great friends and fellow musicians Benoit Turenne and Mona Elgrably. Our new endeavour as a foursome led to the band Jet Roulette which wrote and performed under a new lable Protomusik Records.

Protomusik's collective, supportive, and highly active vibes began to inspire me to keep momentum and start thinking about all the experiences and options available - all the endless possibilities to grow, and learn, and develop musically.  Through Protomusik's many talented artists and friends, I met Louis Deering and Jono Hunt who invited me (after so long of admiring their performances from the audience) to join their already established, fun-loving, funked-out and groovin' hip-hop ensemble Typecast where I would play keyboards and sing vocals over some wicked tunes.  Typecast has played many venues since their full formation including Saints Bar, Le Sala Rosa, Jello Bar, Les Minots, Petit Campus, The Maverick (ottawa), and other venues in Toronto and Montreal. I am still playing with Typecast and we are about to release an album and take on a mini tour of Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto.

All this to say that for the past two years - I have been writing and trying as often as possible to perform original material in Montreal. I am teamed up with Alan Springer on guitar and Rob Couture on drums and have a very fortunate aray of different people with different resources in terms of recording  (as well as my trusty (thanks Chris) AW16G multitrack recorder that I use to archive my rough ideas.  Being that I am the epitome of a poor musician and bohemian (yes I find it somewhat romantic), I need all the resources and support I can get! I have played at Kokkino's, Grumpy's, Burritoville, Casa Del Popolo, Shaika, Les 3 minots, and many more.

My main goal is to simply record something that I am proud of, and that reflects exactly what I want to express without over-production and without unnecessary expenses.I have teamed up with an incredibly sensitive, and in-tune producer and we are currently in pre-production for something that will either be an EP or,  best case scenario - a full-blown album. I will keep you updated as things move along!
