biographical info
Sound is a constant exploration for me. I enjoy the feeling of not knowing what unique sound will come up after every twist or tap on my turntable. Adapting this fantastic tool (the turntable) as my main musical instrument has allowed me to explore endless possibilities, improvising and challenging my mind to push further into the unknown. I am very fascinated with the relationship between movement, sound and the importance of live performance. I am able to demonstrate and articulate this to my audience and believe that it is an essential step in preparing them for the inspiring journey ahead.
Some accomplishments over the years include being nominated for the K.M. Hunter Artist Award for Music, receiving grants from the Ontario Arts Council, Canada Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council, performing at established venues such as the TIFF Bell Lightbox, Music Gallery, Royal Ontario Museum, Gardiner Museum and the Harbour Front Centre to name a few.
Because of my willingness to always challenge myself musically, I have had the pleasure of working with talented and diverse group of instrumentalists and composers including John Kameel Farah, Araz Salek, Colin Fisher, Darren Copeland, Gregory Oh, Evergreen Contemporary Gamelan and Richard Marsella to name a few. I am also a founding member of experimental turntable band iNSiDEaMiND.
