Music Biography

I studied classical music in university.  I then went on to diverse musical endeavours, including: busking, singing in choirs, accompanying singers, recording music for videos, playing in restaurants, and for the past 18 years performing for private and public events in Ottawa, either as a soloist or with groups of various size.  I was a member of The Bread Boys in Toronto, and Sonic Blue in Ottawa.  My latest musical group is a fabulous vocal trio called Three Key Ridge, which features the beautiful voices of Holly Gillis-Cox, and Vivian Byrne.

Collaborators

I have been very fortunate to perform with some of Ottawa's finest musicians. Often appearing with a trio, which features bass and drums along with my piano playing, the music provides a perfect backdrop for relaxed and tasty gatherings.
