Long before steel strings flattened my fingertips, and ages before I stumbled through my first string arrangement, I used to write books upon books of lyrics. Right from the outset, songwriting has been a way for me to process life and tell stories.

These "thoughtful and introspective" (Arthur Bullock, Beyond James) songs have led me through countless genres and onto stages and radio stations across Canada. 

In 2023, I developed The Next Empty Day, a song cycle performed at the Hamilton Fringe Festival.
