A Canadian songwriter originally from Winnipeg, MB, now residing in the Okanagan Valley of B.C. Started a few years back writing and composing tunes in a variety of styles including Rock, Pop, Folk, Country, Protest, Spiritual and Parodies - often with topical subjects that address social and political issues.

I frequently collaborate with other artists from home and abroad to create a sound that hopefully strikes a chord with listeners and possibly those with an interest to adapt or publish.

Member of SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada), Songwriters Association of Canada, Freedom Force International and various animal rights groups.
