Hi Guys,
I am currently enjoying some good food in Cozumel Mexico where we are docked for today. I am remotely making room on my office walls at home since I have finally received my Master’s Degree from UEL/ICMP as well as my award for Best Overall – MMus Popular Music Performance. The Glory Daze (Carnival Glory Band) line up has changed; welcoming Regina Daniels and Andy Smith on vocals. Here is a picture of the new line up.
Stay Tuned. 
Wow time flies by, 2015 is already over! This has been great year for me. Lets revisit it and see why it was a really special year from a professional standpoint. My year started in London England and as you know, I was researching the impact of Music Technologies in Live Music Performance. This study led to my graduation from my MMus with a Distinction. I was also awarded with APME’s (Association of Popular Music Education) Best overall for the year 2015-2016, awarded to the student with the highest average in both the Academic and Performance portions of the programme.

The 12 months I spent in England were very beneficial to my development and helped me reach new understanding of my identity as a musician. I had the chance to meet amazing musicians, perform in many of the great and legendary venues in London. In November, I released a promo video which illustrates some of those evolutions.
At the moment I am on the Carnival Glory cruise ship as a show band musician, cruising through the Caribbean’s. I get to perform every night in a different musical context, whether it is performing some Motown, Disco, 80’s pop/rock, 90’s and Beyond, Classic Rock, Variety sets or Super Star Live (live band karaoke), I get to practice stylistic playing, sight reading as well as growing as a musician and individual. Although my time on social media is limited, I wanted to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi Guys!
As you know I left Canada in September 2014 in order to get my MMus in Popular Music Performance. I had the chance to meet amazing people, perform with amazing bands and learn from some great teachers here in the U.K. A few hours ago, my journey reached its completion as I have handed in my last assignment. I am extremely grateful to have had the chance to be here as well as learn about my craft and I am looking forward to sharing these skills with other people! Thanks to all my London friends. As I am writing this, I am soon to board a flight first to Brasil for a holiday and then back to Canada by the end of the September. I will hopefully have some news, videos and new projects to share with you when I get back home!
Stay Tuned,
PL

I thought I’d share a picture from a night out, a few days ago, with some friends who made my year in London amazing .
