QPD
Welcome to QPD! I am a Saxophonist from Blackfoot territory, who plays everything from Jazz/Blues to Celtic. Travelling throughout North America with a saxophone on my knee (and in the overhead compartments of planes, trains, and automobiles), I have been involved with stage, concert, and marching bands, and symphony orchestras. I'm currently stretching my wings as a solo artist.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
QPD is the artist behind the label, he's a saxophonist, who plays everything from Celtic to Blues. QPD has his own independent label, Plaid Triangle Entertainment, does his own distribution and marketing,in Eastern Canada.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I can be found playing my sax on just about any street corner in Halifax, and at various open mic nights. Special moment was the day I got over my stage fright (I vomited on stage). How did this get over my stage fright you ask? Well, I figure nothing worse could ever happen to me..(LOL).
Your musical influences
I have been told that I sound like Kenny G, thought my influences are more like Enya, Grover Washington, John Coltrane, Dermott O'Reilly, Louis Armstrong Red Nichols, and Loreena McKennit
What equipment do you use?
ten fingers, one mouth, many reeds of varying strengths and qualities, one (two, when I get my other one out of the shop) saxophone, digital music, and the great outdoors!
