What to expect

I will offer whatever kind of performance you require. I can be background music or perform a house concert. I mix covers and originals together and the genre varies from Indie to Pop and Folk. I have a mellow sound with introspective lyrics. I have what is described as a storytellers voice. I'm not a powerhouse vocalist, it's a softer more intimate approach to singing. Ideal formats would be house concerts or art shows etc. I'm professional, prompt and deliver quality musicianship.

About

I began writing songs as a therapy and it has since become a career. I am an artist in recovery. In my twenties I became addicted to alcohol and for 7 years I was controlled by it. Alcohol almost ruined my marriage, lost me jobs and robbed me of a lot of years I could've been chasing down a music career. Since 2014 I have been sober and as of this past week have been signed to Major Indie Publishing Label Arts and Crafts. In 2018 I won my category and placed 3rd in the Canadian Songwriting Competition - a competition judged by the likes of Sam Roberts and Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea. These songs are reflections of my own struggles presented in a universal way. I strive to write in a way that will allow you to place your own memories inside of my music and lyrics so that together we can all relate.

Additional booking notes

I am able to power a small room or outdoor event with the amp that I have. I am happy to rent any extra equipment at your request and include it in my invoice.
