For the past 15 years, I have been immersed in the music industry in a variety of roles.
Engineering and production. Starting in Vancouver, BC, I began work as an Assistant Recording Engineer at Orca Pacific Recording Studios and Mushroom Studios. Notable projects included Colin James’ National Steel (produced by Colin Linden). I also worked on a number of projects with Colin Nairne (guitarist and producer with Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts).
Original guitar and performance. I have played guitar professionally as an original performer for over 10 years. My most public work to date was with the electric band Monster America. Highlights included an appearance on City TV’s Breakfast Television and two Q107 shows at Toronto’s Sound Academy.
Wedding and private event guitarist. With clients ranging from New York to Australia, I have worked at hundreds of weddings and private events. I have had the honour of providing a private performance for British Royalty in Muskoka, and have played at some of the most prestigious and creative venues in Canada. These have included Malaparte (Oliver & Bonacini Events), The Gardiner Museum, Auberge du Pommier, Canoe, the Berkeley Church, Taboo Muskoka, Graydon Hall, the Thompson Landry Gallery (Distillery Events), Windermere House, Southbrook Vineyards, and many more.
