Artist Description
Born in the tiny town of Hiram, Maine, the musical experimentation started off in a shed in the backyard, where, through severe equipment misuse, sound-on-sound recording AND distortion were "discovered"! In high school a role was secured as the jazz bass player, and eventually the transformation into a singer / songwriter / guitarist / beatboxer occured. Performance career started to blossom while studying music technology at McGill University, where performances included a wide range of groups: Effusion A Cappella at Newfoundland's Festival 500 and the Montreal Jazz Festival with Joel Miller, appearance on Renee Lee's Juno nominated "Maple Grove", and touring the Montreal club scene with bands like Kweku and the Movement at venues such as La Sala Rossa, Le Swimming, Le Spectrum, They Yellow Door, Zekes Gallery and much more. Now soloing at bars/clubs/restaurants in the New England region and beyond, playing acoustic guitar, singing and live-looping vocal percussion and harmonies on a unique brand of jazztastic hip-folk. Soulful melodic vocals fit nicely atop a framework of genre-shifting harmonies to provide a platform for contemplative, uncomplicated lyrics. Currently digesting all the new rhythms and melodies absorbed in a 6 month New Zealand tour, pushing the EP, plugging the website, and writing tunes. Full length album with new band is on the horizon...

Stuck in that situation where everything is just right except for the timing. Everyone's had one of those moments where you wish you met the person just a little earlier or a little later in life.
