SEEKING

ABOUT

I am an experienced drummer & percussionist with 20+ years of jamming, recording and gigging experience and have relocated to Calgary, AB from Europe. I have played with numerous bands and solo artists and have a good 14+ years worth of experience working directly with producers in a studio environment, and have recorded several top 10 singles on local charts in Malta, Europe. I have performed at top local Music Festivals (Malta) and other prestigious events such as The Malta Music Awards 2008 and DJ Ruby's 'Elements' NYE Show 2009. Another notable achievement is having co-written and recorded the music for Blaze Productions Ltd award-winning 'Kristal Water' TV ad (2009). I have experience forming percussion groups and auditioning performers and have formed 2 groups in the past, the 1st consisting of 4 performers and the 2nd consisting of 20 performers for whom I wrote, taught, choreographed and directed several pieces for 2 prestigious events held at the Hilton Grandmasters Suite, Malta.
Locally (Calgary), I've played (or still play) for Scarbelly Creek, Sevenera, Genocide Friday, Hardwire Spears & the Big Heat, Neon North, The Rockin' Rebels, Generation Country, Crow's Nest, Julie's Andrewz, and Soul'd Out amongst many others, and have played hundreds of shows and corporate events. I have performed numerous recording sessions for various professional artists, and toured with Generation Country across 8 cities, playing 13 shows, 2 performance clinics, and 5 community engagement events in Shandong Province, China Sept '18.
Apart from playing drums, I also do sound reinforcement, live sound engineering (FOH and Monitor mixing), rigging, recording and mixdown, along with show production and music production.

I am available for live or recording sessions, hosting live jams/open mics, national and international touring, and I'll entertain collaborating, songwriting, and producing on any interesting and equitable projects.
