SEEKING

ABOUT

I am an experienced reggae, soul, ska and jazz singer-songwriter from Toronto.

I've recently formed a reggae/ska band with a couple of talented musicians.
We cover old school reggae, ska and blues but we also perform original material.

I'm always open to collaborate with and back up other artists and bands. In addition, I'm available for hire for live performance gigs and studio work.

If you're interested in joining the band, hiring the band or myself, feel free to contact me.
Thanks!
