ABOUT

I am a professional drummer who has had experience playing in Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop, Pop music and Hardcore Metal. I have played for The WAYO, Charlotte Day Wilson, Molly's Behaviour, I'll Burn My Books, and have played in a few different jazz trios around Halifax and Toronto. I am very committed to drumming and am looking for serious players to put together a band, but am also willing to join a group if I like the music. Some bands I have played alongside are The Robert Glasper Experiment, BADBADNOTGOOD, Young Paris and so on, and I have played in numerous festivals around Canada, including the TD Halifax Jazz Fest, Field Trip, NXNE, Evolve, and Canadian Music Week. Serious Inquiries only please, and looking forward to playing with you!!
