Mom and Dad gave it to me.

I actually play live in a duet and a full band, and I enjoy it tremendously

It gives independent, unsigned musicians the opportunity to share their art.

Probably, but I'm neither young nor pretty nor talented enough for that to happen.

The history of me as a recording musician begins 20 years ago, using two cassette decks to create my first work. Beginning about 13 years ago, I have tried to put together a project to give away as Christmas gifts to my family and friends. So far, there have been 5, and each one--until the most recent (Scapes) has gotten more and more complex. I returned to a simpler theme this past year, with solo acoustic guitar.

My influences are vast: Pat Metheny, Larry Carlton, Mark Knopfler, Eric Johnson, David Gilmour are just a few. This doesn't mean I play like them, but their art has spurred me onward.

My favorite spot on Earth is Pemaquid point in Maine (US), but Toronto is my favorite city.

I recently opened budget ¢reations, a full service, small project digital and fine arts studio. We cater to the aspiring musician who lacks the funds for a large studio, and the consumer who may be looking for art with a personal touch.
