ABOUT
Well...20+ years ago I was somewhat relevant in the Toronto hair band scene as a bass player for a few different acts. (Sigh) those were good times. I started out doing covers (as do most) but quickly advanced into all original acts. I have opened for some major acts such as Faith No More, Anvil, Dangerous Toys and have headlined numerous gigs as well.

Influences
Hair Metal is my passion. However, I do like some Classic Rock and New Rock/Metal. Rush is my all time favourite and it was Geddy Lee who inspired me to play in the first place. I love the hard hitting style of Duff McKagan, simple, straight forward and prominent. My latest fave is Justin Chancellor from Tool. I find him fascinating and really takes bass to a new level and puts it in the forefront. No more starin' at your shoes in the back corner.
