Drawn to theatre & playing in bands during school years, by my early 20s stages & studios were my career. As a performer, work took me around half the world & helped me establish a studio & small record label. Soon after, voice acting & voice over work came calling.
When not tracking dialogue, editing/mixing audio for games, toons, films, corporate videos & audio dramas, being a session producer/musician, or creating my own releases, I still get to perform live music every now & then, mostly around Ontario.
Contact me if you'd like to discuss a booking, or let's connect on Zoom, Skype or Discord. And THANK YOU for stopping by!

In 2021, I voiced a supporting role in British screenwriter & producer Ryan Braund's animated film 'Absolute Denial'. A compelling hand-drawn movie, it follows "...An obsessive, genius programmer (who) sacrifices everything in his personal and professional life to build a computer of unprecedented power.". The film's been awarded an Official Selection at many festivals around the world.
In 2017, I made an appearance in the documentary 'Waiting For Ishtar' (on IMDB). It follows an actor searching for fans of the infamous movie starring Warren Beatty & Dustin hoffman. WFI was written & directed by Jonathan Crombie & John Mitchell & includes interviews with some Ishtar cast members plus the talented singer/songwriter Paul Williams.
In 2016, I was commissioned to write, perform & produce a song for the film 'The Face Beneath' (on IMDB), an indie written & directed by Ratish Nair from the northeastern USA.
A result of being a professional performer, session work came naturally. RateYourMusic.com lists many of them, some of which were clients I connected with through sites like Airgigs &
Soundbetter.
