Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Too many engagements to mention, but attempting Aerosmith for a funeral service upon request was a good one. Also, with Sackville Concert Band, I've sung an Ed Sheeran/Andre Bocelli take on Sheeran's "Perfect" as both vocalists to high acclaim. I've supplied anthem singing/playing somewhat regularly, too, for Ceremonies at Government House in Nova Scotia. Just three examples of what I've done. :)


What's your favourite type of event?

All kinds of events, yes (including opera), but I'm adept at providing comfort for Celebrations of Life.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started performing in churches, then with high school musicals and assemblies, and kept that up through university. After moving to Toronto following graduation, I became a hired choral ringer, so much so that choral singing, with occasional solo opportunities, became the base of my income. I've sung with Mississauga Choral Society, Scarborough Choral Society, Toronto Jewish Folk Choir, Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, Elora Festival Singers, Nathaniel Dett Chorale, and various church positions (as tenor section lead, then as director) before moving to the Greater Halifax area for family reasons. More church positions followed, plus performances with Opera Nova Scotia, Vocalypse Productions, various Dinner Theatre productions and then some. :) Now I provide musical entertainment at various seniors' residences, service music for churches and funeral homes, improvisations with IMPROV the MUSICAL, and have collaborated on special performances for house concerts, too.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I choose not to answer this question, because it c changes frequently, depending on the circumstances.
