About
Thanks for viewing my profile. I am a self-taught guitarist/vocalist/songwriter. I began my musical career with grand artistic ambitions and am still working towards fulfilling them. Throughout the 90s, I released a trilogy of albums bearing a trademark epic style. “A kick in the uplifting end of our soul”. “Musically invigorating and compositionally dynamic”. "A symphonic prog lover's wet dream". These were typical comments, along with favourable reviews and considerable airplay throughout Europe, various pockets in the US and in Quebec.
Fast-forward to the current century and my latest album called With Or Without, which takes a leaner song-based approach with emphasis on acoustic guitar and vocals. Still, the prog/art rock influences shine through in the intricate arrangements, fluid guitar stylings and in the lyrics, which are often surrealistic and philosophical.
