Hi Folks! I've got two studio albums to date: 'Fathom' (2013): recorded this album a few years after receiving a music composition degree (with violin performance) from Wilfrid Laurier. The project was funded by the Ontario Arts Council. This music is more polished and streamlined than the music from my first album (pre-degree), but it still hold that genre-blending/genre-bending core. You will find elements of world, pop, rock, blues, new age, punk in this album. Tags: eclectic, world, alternative pop, new age. 'After the Fall' (official release 2021, recorded in 2000). While gigging with my band in Toronto Canada, I was approached by engineer Denis Tougas to record an album. I poured all my money and energy into this project, working with my talented band members, monster session musicians, and top-notch engineers. Denis and I walked out of the studio after finalising the album (mastering), to a lunar eclipse in full swing. It was magical! Then the universe pulled the rug from under me: while working hard to save money for the next process (a tour), I got hit by a taxi while riding my bike. The album was shelved, and I spent years recovering, healing my body. After 9 years of only teaching music, I've decided to start performing/creating my own music again. I decided to record my first YouTube video, and wanted to use a song from this era. I forgot all the words, so looked to the masters to jar my memory. The song hit me like a thunder bolt and I realised 'whoa, this recording needs to be heard'! So here we are.

Story behind the song
Strong emotions seem to motivate much of my songwriting. I was mad at my sister for some reason...and this song just jumped out onto the page...the guitar riff came later. There really is no connection it seems, between my anger toward her and the actual lyrics. Ah, the weird power of emotion.
