About
With over a decade of solo and band performances in Canada and New Zealand, Ross’ Green Day, R.L. Burnside, and Tom Waits easily heard in his stories and in his music You’ll laugh, cry, and holler!
My musical journey began at six when I picked up a beat-up guitar, sparking a passion that’s led me to performing in nearly every living room, pub, club, cabaret, concert series, and festival across Canada and New Zealand.
I started performing solo in 2007 in Vancouver’s pub, club, and coffee shop scene. Since 2012, I’ve also played bass (and occasionally half a drum kit at the same time) in touring bands, honing my craft on stages that span continents. These years have shaped me into a versatile performer, comfortable with an audience.
Now, as I prepare to release my debut sol E.P. “Finally, At Last” in spring 2025, I’m focused on sharing my own music—a mix of playful moments, raw intensity, and everything else we find in between. My sound carries the influences of Green Day, Metallica, Tom Waits, and R.L. Burnside. Expect my live performance to make you laugh, cry, and holler as my songs move you to East Van, lead you on a search for the perfect moment to say “I love you,” and even pack you a bag for when opportunity comes knocking.
