artist Balmoral Drive

Balmoral Drive is influenced by all sounds big and small. A self-professed culture junky, he ravenously bites into the bones of his surroundings and breathes out the secret fragile treasures that he’s found along the way. He has been writing songs for a little more than a decade and capturing most of the results using instruments and devices ranging from primitive to sophisticated. He approaches music like a child approaches a sheet of bubble-wrap, preferring to learn more through experience and experimentation than theories and analysis. In words, he has been through moments of sarcasm, simplicity, vulnerability, illusion, self-pity, love, sex, death and taxation. He sings with cautious optimism and venomous cynicism touching on points in between for good measure. His companion of choice for performance is a guitar. As his Grade 5 report card and his resumé have stated, he plays and works well independently and with others. He does not shy away from anything or anyone that makes noise, believing in the granola-esque notion of community. He will play music until the day he dies.
