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.

He read the room perfectly. Our guests were completely captivated from the first note. More than one person asked us for his contact info that night.

The music was the thing everyone talked about after. Soulful, real, and genuinely moving. We'd book him again without a second thought.
