Biography

My songs have been described as being:

"rich in lyrical imagery" (the Vancouver Sun)
"perfect pop hooks" (the Vancouver Courier)
"Jim Morrison vibe" (Recording Magazine)
"gritty" (Sun Media), and more.

Sometimes my songs are soft, sometimes they're hard, sometimes they're smooth, sometimes they're edgy. I have many moods, and my songs reflect those moods. These songs are real, and come from my amazing true life stories.

I spend most of my time in the heart of downtown Vancouver, Canada. I've got a 'daytime job' on the Granville Entertainment strip. My songs are greatly influenced by my city at night. By the lights, by the action, by the passion, by the sex and music that create the heady atmosphere of Granville Street.

A native of Vancouver Canada, I'm a singer/songwriter of light rock pop songs, with a folk-rock essence, and delivered with a bit of edge.

My roots stem back to the early era of indie music, the radical 1980's. I have played clubs, pubs, coffee houses, and many other venues around Metro Vancouver both in bands, and as solo performer.

More reviews include:

INDIE CAFE REVERBNATION "one of the best indie artists out there."
RECORDING MAGAZINE "emotion"
THE WESTENDER "a power of their own."
THE VANCOUVER COURIER "perfect pop hooks."

I invite you to have a listen to a track at itunes, amazon.com or cdbaby , and if you like it, please buy an mp3 download to enjoy.

Thank so much,
