I am currently in my 3rd year of my contemporary music degree in jazz piano in Toronto. I'm a professional and experienced performing and studio artist on piano/keys, guitar and voice. I'm a versatile musician, with experience on many instruments, as well as a variety of styles ranging from contemporary jazz, to fusion, to soul/funk, classical, and a cappella jazz and barbershop. I have a wide range of studio experience as well, having engineered, mixed, and produced sessions myself. I'm also an avid arranger and composer. I produce a variety of materials for my Youtube channel (click the link!), where I feature some of the groups I'm involved in, my own material, and my One-Man-Band and Vocal Multitrack videos. My goal is to make the best music I can, no matter what the instruments or style, and then present it in such a way so people can really enjoy it. I enjoy working with others, and I'm a lot of fun, and try to make the most out of any experience.
