I grew up in Whitehorse, Yukon where I picked up my first guitar at the age of 12. I wanted a guitar so bad because I saw a pro wrestler called "the honkey tonk man" smashing them over peoples heads, it was a fender stratocaster. In highschool I spent much of my time playing Green Day and Nirvana covers in various punk and alternative rock bands. The most successful of those groups was a group called Astro Boy's Revenge (click on this link for an mp3). It lead me into the realm of rock and blues. In grade twelve I was voted "most likely to become a rockstar" so I thought I'd throw everyone a curve-ball and go for a degree in classical guitar. I studied with Stephen Boswell for two years at capilano college then I transferred to the University of British Columbia where I studied with Michael Strutt. I made the transition from rock to Bach with flying colors and I earned myself a degree in performance. Of course, there were a whole lot of adventures alng the way, have a look at the resume section to get an idea of the various adventures and oppurtunities I've had in recent years. |
