ABOUT ME
Today, I produce and visualize music, I create soundscapes and vocalize on my projects.
My visual work deals with video creation, installation, photography, and 3D/ 360 digital landscape. My background in visual art comes from my father; a once practicing Canadian photographer. I grew up in his studio developing a love for the physicality of early image making. Many years after I became a practicing photographer myself, and attended Ryerson as a photography major. That changed two years into the program, as I realized my passion was in additional and post digital media.
Composing music is what I love and continue to do. Years of playing instruments and growing my taste for unusual electronic music has allowed me to develop a sense for my own sound when it comes to producing. I have always been drawn to the Cyber World and my music reflects the modern digital age. I keep things unnatural in order to discover the unknown.
