I identify as a musical enthusiast. My journey with music began around age 10, when I first started playing guitar. Over the years, I’ve explored both acoustic and electric guitars, mastering 6- and 12-string versions, as well as nylon and steel-string variations. During my high school years in the early 1990s, my passion for music truly flourished.
Since then, I’ve expanded my repertoire to include an array of instruments. My skills now extend to playing the mandolin, banjo, harp, djembe, tambourine, shakers, steel drum, and even the triangle (yes, you read that right!). I’ve even taken up the train whistle, a quirky addition to my musical adventures.
Looking ahead, my musical journey continues to evolve. I hope to add the piano and violin to my repertoire, and I eagerly anticipate the new horizons these instruments will open for me.
Below are some examples of my recorded works. I am also an active member of the Regina Mandolin Orchestra (playing mandolin and percussion instruments)
