Hey Guys!

I had an amazing first month in London. The music scene seems absolutely great, the landscape is phenomenal and the people that surround me are fantastic . I had the pleasure to meet my classmates and learned what my assignments would be for the year. I am happy to say I will be studying and performing with some very talented musicians in the next year. In the next month I will have a few recitals to prepare and I will also get a chance to play on a few of my friends recitals and gigs.

I am currently looking for a few projects to get involved with and I will start announcing some gigs very soon. I will try and get some audio clips and videos from the performances to post on the site so you can get an idea of what I am up to. Also, I have just ordered a set of drums so I can perform as much as possible during my stay in London. I can’t wait to share some pictures with you.
Stay Tuned!

Hi guys,

My summer has been busy preparing for this following year’s adventure. As you may know I will be studying in London England for a year in order to get my Masters Degree in Pop music performance. Needless to say, I am excited to discover this new country, study, build relationships and establish myself as a serious musician/drummer. I will try to keep my website up to date and post relevant information about my trip during the next year so all of you can follow my progression. More pictures and information will also be available on my Facebook and Twitter.

Stay tuned!

Hi Guys!
It is time for  my July 2014 update.

In the last month I have been very fortunate to play at 2 of my favorite celebrations, The St-Jean Baptiste in Grenville and Canada Day in Ottawa. I had great bands to share the stage with and will have some audio and video clips to show you guys soon enough.

I updated the Media section of my website; adding songs from my friends Ross Burant and Sean Connolly. Those are pretty cool tunes, you need to check them out.

I have been working hard on my Visa application for my move to London for my Graduate Studies while keeping my chops up in order to rock the british folks when I get there.

More to come soon.

Stay Tuned!

Hi guys!

In the last few weeks or so, I had the chance to complete my BMus at Humber College and perform with some cool bands in Toronto, Oshawa and obviously at Humber for performance week. I had a great time performing with the ensembles and listening to some of my peers killing it on stage. My four years at Humber College gave me a chance to work on my craft and study with some of the best teachers in Canada as well as share the stage and work with some of the most talented musicians I will ever have the chance to meet. I will never forget this adventure and all the amazing people that I had a chance to meet/work with.

I am currently working on getting a band together for the St-Jean 2014 celebration in Grenville Québec. I hired a great band and will be performing with them on June 21st from 9pm to 11pm. If you’re in the area, come and check out some high quality musicianship and the best of Québec’s musical culture.

I will be moving back home (L’Orignal, ON) for the summer and then I will be moving to London U.K. to pursue my graduate studies (Mmus in Popular music performance). This summer will be packed with work, hopefully a few performances but most importantly a lot of preparation for my move to the U.K.

This month’s update comes with some new material on my website:

I am working on plans for this summer, there are a few gigs you will definitely want to check out. I am excited to announce those gigs, but can’t yet since they are not finalised. Also, I haven’t forgotten to post those videos I promised earlier, I simply need to finalize them before I post them.

Stay Tuned,
