I
am a full-time
musician who works primarily with the group Fucked Up. Outside of
this I have pursued other avenues of composition, film scoring, audio
recording, and experimental live performance. As a writer I have
contributed to various music magazines (Uncut,
Dazed and Confused, Rock Sound),
independent Canadian publications, and radio (Resonance FM in the UK,
CIUT in Toronto).
I am increasingly interested in working with artists and filmmakers,
and want to develop the necessary skills to deliver professional
content.
