Throughout university, I sang in and directed Wibijazz’n’, the York University contemporary chorus, where I developed my jazz chops and my love for a cappella singing. I've been singing professionally, a cappella and otherwise, nonstop ever since.

On Stage

From 2003-2006, I toured around the world as first tenor for Canada’s premiere a cappella vocal band Cadence . I also sing with the pan-stylistic FreePlay Duo, the 1980s top-40 a cappella band Retrocity, vocal-jazz quartet Hampton Four, and sang with the Nathaniel Dett Chorale. Performance highlights include:

• Impromptu performances with vocal maestro Bobby McFerrin
  
• Performances for Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Oscar Peterson
• Jamming onstage with music legend Les Paul
• Performing at the Canadian Embassy in Washington for the inauguration of President Obama

In The Studio

I often work as a session singer, and have sung on Hollywood film soundtracks, radio and television jingles, and major-label albums. I love session-singing, and this is what I bring to the studio:

• perfect pitch
• extended vocal range
• strong sightreading skills
• multistylistic, from classical to rock
• exceptional knowledge of complex harmony (no hand-holding required, producers!)
• ability to create “on the fly” vocal arrangements and scores

Over the years I have developed an extensive network of fantastic singers, and also work as a vocal contractor. As a producer, arranger and performer, I am familiar with all angles of production. I understand what you need, and I know who can deliver.

I also enjoy mimic/voice character work, and will do most of the character voices from “The Simpsons”, whether you like it or not.
