It's part nickname and part real name

I used to play live a lot but I don't do it as much now. I prefer to do big shows or really small clubs

When I was a kid, we used to go to each other's houses with out latest purchase at the record store. I miss that. Now a days, you can spread your songs over 50 countries before breakfast. It has advantages and some disadvantages to go with that.

Oh ya, who wouldn't? I would prefer to see my songs done by other artists and bands. That would be perfect. I could still be with my family and make a living in music.

I toured all around Canada for a number of years in bar bands. I've had a few big shows and offers but once my daughter was born, I wanted to be around so I left music behind for a few years. I was always able to get out and play here and there so I kept my edge. I have a home studio now so I am free to do whatever suits the moment. As I get to understand things, the production and recordings should improve.

By far, my parents. Both were musicians and singers. My childhood was filled with music, love and freedom. I thought it normal at the time but now I realize how rare and special those days were. I still colaborate with my mother writing music. My father passed in 87.

Ottawa Canada. I love this city.
