SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a WINNER of the Niagara Music Award for Instrumental Artist Of The Year in 2016 as well as a nominee for a St. Catharines Arts Award in 2015 and 2016. Also Readers Choice winner for Best Local Entertainer - Drummer 2019, Best Local Musician 2021, and Diamond winner Musician 2024.

I have performed drumming duties on countless studio sessions for a number of recording artists. While drumming with a popular 80’s progressive rock band, I worked with legendary Canadian producer Bob Gallo who produced multiple hit records for Atlantic Records and for artists such as James Brown, The Drifters, Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, Bo Diddley and The Young Rascals.

I am open to cover or original bands performing locally, or on a national or international level. I am only interested in joining bands that have shows already booked. I am available for subbing work, full-time touring or anything in-between.
