I am a folk singer-songwriter and children's musician based in central Ontario. My songs seem to revolve around childhood, family, faith and small town themes.

SInce joining FAWM in 2013, I've taken up a bunch of new instruments beyond my trusty acoustic guitar (bass, ukulele, telecaster, keyboards, harmonica, Xylophone, recorder(echh) and upped my production game.

This past year, particularly this spring, I took two professional music courses: James Hill Certified Ukulele Teacher Part I and a Royal Conservatory course on teaching Elementary school vocal and instrumental music with a focus on the Orff methodology. I knew going in that it would be foolhardy to take on two heavy music courses simultaneously during the school year. It was. But I did well in both.

I NEED this 5090 to just do my own thing, flex my creative muscles and become re-acquainted with some of my other neglected instruments (piano and telecaster). I'm also working on my second ukulele building project. This one is going to be a uke-bass with body found from a wooden teddy bear piggy bank.
