In a word... eclectic. I always wanted to do everything musical, and I'm still trying!

I studied classical piano, violin and cello as a kid, and according to my Mom, started singing in public when I was three. Things turned in a different direction when I found my Dad's old jazz records at age 16: I sold my cello for a Fostex 4-track, took up the electric bass, learned to play mediocre guitar and drums, and started playing and singing jazz.

I went to York Univeristy, a great place for budding jacks-of-some-trades, studying piano, bass, and conducting. I also directed a student-run jazz choir there called Wibijazz'n'. I only got a "B" in conducting class though... I missed a final assignment because I was too busy conducting Wibi!

These days, I'm all over the place. My first love is performing, but I also work as a producer, composer, arranger, and educator. There's lots of info and examples all over the site, so feel free to explore.

What else? Well, I live in Toronto, Canada, a multicultural city with a vibrant music scene. I'm married to Suba Sankaran, a monster musician who inspires me in all ways possible. I'm the eldest of 3 kids (and pretty easy to peg as an "oldest child", so I'm told). I like long walks on the beach, yadda yadda, preferably with a beer in one hand, an extra-strong coffee in the other, and good friends on either side of me. Life has treated me well, and every day I'm thankful: hopefully through my music, I can give just a little bit of it back.
