Influenced by my mother, she saw that I had a talent for music, and she began taking me to live performances featuring such distinguished and notable artists as Murray McLaughlin, Leona Boyd and other respected musical talents.
I was hooked and wanted to play as much, and in as many locations as possible.
My first paid performance was when I was 19 years old, and I haven’t stopped playing since.
My genre is classic rock, inspired by gifted musicians, who became my idols, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Cat Stevens.
I play both guitar and harmonica and I enjoy performing at local venues, in intimate settings, where I can interact with the audience.
