Care to introduce yourself to our readers?
I am a Canadian country recording artist from Prince Edward County, Ontario. I have devoted my life to the art of songwriting and studied Classical Music Performance at Cambrian College in Sudbury, Ontario. I have recently released my third studio album, Spotlight, which highlights many aspects of my songwriting styles and is available on all streaming platforms.
Tell us a bit about your most recent release.
My newest single, “Love Found Us,” came to life through the main guitar part and an anthem-like chorus melody. I wanted this song to be really fun and easy to sing for any listener. I have a ton of compositions that are a lot more “In Depth” lyrically, but in the case of this one, I just wanted it to be super conversational and let the musical elements take over.
Where do you tend to pull inspiration from when writing?
I pay Attention! Every day as songwriters, we see, overhear, or feel musical inspiration. These ideas can be just one line or even just one word that could be turned into a song. I often get asked, “Which do you start with, the music or the lyrics?” For me, it is both. I keep what I call “A Hook Book” of catchy titles or musical parts that I can look to every time I write.
Do you have any upcoming shows you’d like to tell us about?
I am currently putting together a cross-Canada acoustic tour which will include multiple venue styles from theatres to intimate brewery sessions, and hope to have local opening artists from the cities I visit.
What’s your goal for 2023?
Aside from the upcoming acoustic tour, my focus will be on creating new music and releasing a lot more video content than I ever have.
