ABOUT

I'm a 21 year old songwriter with a large back catalogue of original music, written primarily on guitars. Because I've learned pretty well everything by ear I have a lot of songs written in alternate tunings, some of my own creation. This also enables me to write on and play any fretted, stringed instrument (so far so good). I also dabble in playing keyboard.

I can sing, no problem, and have a great falsetto, but it's something I prefer to leave as a backup instrument - much more comfortable playing an instrument. I'm really fond of writing lyrics though, so I can contribute there.

I'm in a band right now that's my primary focus, but I'm always writing and now I'm looking to collaborate with other musicians to start or join another project that has room for my creativity. Bigger picture: looking to become part of a growing community of amazing musicians hailing from Toronto.
