VFS graduate of sound design for visual media with some audio engineering at RAC; Classically and jazz trained at the McGill U Schulich School of music in piano and voice.
Very knowledgeable in audio postproduction and music composition, production, editing, recording, sound design and mixing in Dolby surround sound.
Have performed mostly solo Classical piano, large choir and orchestral concerts with some experience in jazz and rock bands as a singer and keyboardist.
Veering towards alt pop rock and other genres, (these days I write and want to sound like Kate Bush/ fontaines dc/ the national/ Gorillaz/ Stromae) with some sound design and 80s synths).
I am open to other styles and working on covers to gain live experience as I make my own stuff.
