26 year old guitarist, singer/songwriter and drummer from Northwestern Ontario. I make Rock 'n Roll music in my basement. I've been recording my One Man Band songs for 6 and a half years with 23 albums and over 300 songs. Before music I used to draw comics and make videos. I've always looked for outlets to channel my inner energy. Everything I do creatively is done to express my personality, longings and mundane fascinations.

Here is a playlist that represents what I do.

I'm a passionate fan of Rock 'n Roll, J-Pop, Electropop and R&B. I like stuff that is urgent, melodic, up-tempo and life affirming. I became crazy about music when I listened to KISS' album Psycho Circus when I was 13. I began to buy records shortly after, which I'm still into and always listening to. I started playing bass before quickly switching to guitar and drums. The basis of everything for me is AC/DC, the band I learnt it all from. Malcolm Young is my guitar idol.

I was inspired to make my own music when I listened to Bob Dylan's Highway 61 album at age 19. The next year Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation inspired me to start recording. The Clash's Give 'Em Enough Rope is my dream album, the record that inspires me endlessly. It has the exact sound I strive for, the perfect Rock 'n Roll energy mixed with wonderful songcraft and production.
