If instruments are languages, then the piano is my mother tongue. Originally classically-trained, I joined the Dark Side when I found my Dad’s copy of Miles Davis’ Kind Of Blue and became hooked on jazz. I eventually found myself studying jazz and contemporary improvisation at York University, and wound up with a Specialized Honours degree.

I probably wouldn't win any prizes for speed or technical athleticism: I'm about trying to be a sensitive, communicative player,  bringing a unique voice to the table while remaining open and faithful to the music and the moment.
