ABOUT

Mature, Professional, experienced, vocalist, harmonicist, guitarist, songwriter who writes and performs original Blues, Funk, R&B and New Orleans music around Montréal.

My love for making music is every member of the band making each song the best it can be. All individual, creative, contributions together making a greater whole. Positive attitude, collaboration, energy and creativity are key.

I promote original music via three different Meetup groups I manage:
