I started out on the acoustic guitar at age 10. I was playing drums by age 13, bass guitar by page 15 and piano by age 19.
Also, I began writing & recording my own compositions when I was only 13 years old. My favourite musical influences would be The Beatles (#1), Cheap Trick, Elton John, Billy Joel, Chicago, Rush, Stone Temple Pilots, ELO, Oasis, TPOH, Nuno Bettencourt, Jellyfish, Jason Falkner, Ron Sexsmith, Neil Finn...blah blah blah on & on...LOL. My most influential bass players would be
Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee, Tom Petersson and Dee Murray.
Music has been my lifelong passion, and I've always strived to bring 100 percent to each project in which I've taken part. I've played in previous bands such as Axxius, Dirty Mother, Superstone, Miranda Rocks & RetroCrush. The most successful of these, Superstone, had an independently written & recorded all-original CD released in 2006. We also had the opportunity to open for many big-ticket acts including Kim Mitchell, Loverboy, David Wilcox and Sass Jordan at Kinsmen Cornwall Lift-Off.
Now it’s time for the next chapter!
See you guys at the next Rub Salt show!
