A Prince Edward County-based Singer/Songwriter, I have been composing and performing musician for my entire life. Born in Fulham, London UK in the swinging '60s, music has been my life since I saw my first live band at around 5 years old at my two eldest sisters' joint wedding reception.
I began singing in hard rock bands in high school and eventually recorded a demo album that got the attention of Brian Adams' producer Jack Richardson. We never did get the brass ring, and life got in the way of a musical career. I continued playing, performing, and composing and when I moved to the County, I decided to devote more time to my music and art.

Runners in the Night
Runners in the Night Track number: 4 Year: 1984 Album: Images Genre: Rock
This song was part of a demo album we recorded at the keyboard players home in King City. The band was made up of former members of The Omen, Lorne Auld, Steve Lee and myself, plus Debbie the keyboard player and Reese on sax. I didn't know at the time that Debbie's father was a multi-millionaire who was best friends with the President of Colombia Records. He gave the demo to Jack Richardson who was Bryan Adams producer at the time. He loved it and invited us into the studio (again unbeknownst to me). Lorne decided to copyright the music in his name and hire new musicians. Jack heard the new sound and passed. Thus ended my music career!
