I’ve written chart-topping songs, earned Canadian Radio Music Award nominations, and been recognized in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. I’ve toured extensively with indie darlings like Frances Cone and icons like Olivia Newton-John. I’ve also produced critically acclaimed albums and organized high-profile tribute shows. These experiences have helped me build strong networks across Toronto, Nashville, and Los Angeles. As a Creative Executive at SOCAN, I’m leveraging the insights from my diverse career to guide songwriters and composers toward new opportunities. With deep expertise in creative direction and a comprehensive understanding of the industry, I’m passionate about empowering talent and advocating for their success.
