About

A voice shaped by Georgian Bay

I grew up in Midland, in cottage country, where people slow down and actually listen. That's still how I play: honest acoustic songs somewhere between City and Colour and Chris Stapleton, with no backing tracks.

I made the Top 50 on Canadian Idol at 16, studied music at Western, and cut my teeth on Toronto stages like the El Mocambo and the Rivoli. Today I play weddings, private events and listening rooms across Ontario, and I show up the same way every time: prepared, easy to work with, and there to make your night.
