Throughout my life, music has been a fundamental pleasure. Romping around singing along to Queen records with my brother Mike, blasting Train's Drops of Jupiter in my sisters car, going to bed listening to Vivaldi's L'inverno, these are a few of my happiest memories from my early childhood, and such simple sweet moments set the stage for my deep love for music. In 2003, after weeks of pestering my parents, I acquired my first instrument: a cherry red bass guitar. I would rush home from school and play bass until bedtime, figuring out my favourite songs by ear, perfecting my technique, and writing bass solos.  Soon after, I got my first electric guitar and became intrigued with technical guitar playing and resolved to start a band. Initially I intended to be a lead guitarist, though after a fruitless search for a singer I decided to take to role of lead singer and in 2005 I started my first band, The Hours After.
                In 2006, after experimenting with musical styles, I tested my writing prowess by recording a full length album on which I wrote and recorded all the instrumental parts by myself in my home. I performed the content from this CD across countless stages in Ontario from Collingwood to down town Toronto, all the while honing my voice and finding my sound. In 2008, auditioning with my original song Heart of Stone, I got a golden ticket to perform on the Canadian Idol stage. Several days of jamming backstage  with the best undiscovered talents in Canada compounded my love for music and inspired me to write and record more music. In 2009 I released my second  full length album Dreaming of Sleep, made available internationally through Itunes/Amazon/Napster/Rhapsody; like my first album said work was entirely written and recorded by myself in my home. Heavily inspired by Radiohead, Jack Conte, Chris Cornell, Muse, and  Jeff Buckley, the album was an exploration of my song writing abilities in an unchartered domain combining pop and progressive music. Dreaming of Sleep triggered an avalanche of gigs, including a handful of which took place in sunny California, and a couple of which were accompanied by a full string orchestra. In 2010, my friend and fellow musician Joe Ianni, of Broken Guitars, invited me to play drums on his debut album entitled It Took So Long To Get This Wrong.
                I am currently attending the University of Toronto completing a double major in Psychology, with particular interest in cognition and development, and Philosophy, primarily concerning Philosophy of mind and perception. I continue to perform, primarily on campus, and I am working on recording a third full length album, one song at a time.
