ABOUT

I am a violinist/fiddler from Ontario Canada and been playing violin since the age of 3 (25 years now). I love everything about the instrument. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance and have been working professionally since 2004. I am proficient in classical, jazz, improvisation, country, traditional fiddle, celtic, rock, metal, hip hop, pop and electronic music. I work as a freelancer, session musician, theatre performer and have toured with bands and artists internationally. Along with the fiddle/violin, I play viola, mandolin, rhythm acoustic, rhythm electric, electric bass and can sing leads or backups. In my theatre career, I have worked as both a performer on stage and in the pit, as well as an arranger and musical director.
