Achieved Grade 7 with the Royal Conservatory of Music at the University of Toronto as an honour student. By the age of 14, started to write my own material as my friends were tired of listening to another "Bouree" or "Sonatina In C". Joined my first band (Purple Haze) at 15 playing cover material and some original. Worked with numerous original bands over the years (Meshiana Wish, The Wish, Spinal Tramp, Media, NRG) still writing and performing original material and playing more cover material that was progressive-oriented along the lines of SAGA and Genesis. In 1986 I joined CERAFIM and was the major contributor and influence to the writing of the band's music in the styles of progressive and contemporary rock. CERAFIM went on to record 4 well received CD's and is still musically active through Internet radio stations and is distributed internationally by a number of independent record labels. In January of 2005 I ventured into a new musical partnership as keyboardist with the Canadian original progressive rock band THE LAST PLACID DAYS OF PLENTY. In addition to piano, I studied the trumpet for 8 years throughout junior, senior and high school, playing in the orchestra, stage and jazz bands. I am a self-taught guitar player and fooled around on a drum kit my parents (silly fools) bought for me after much pleading. My past influences include the following keyboardists: Keith Emerson, Tony Banks, Rick Wakeman, Jurgen Fritz, Rod Argent, Patrick Moraz, Jim Gilmour, Joe Vanelli and recently include Kevin Moore, John Beck and Jordan Rudess. Most of my favourite bands include: Genesis, ELP, Dream Theater, Marillion, SAGA, Supertramp, Yes, Lake, Porcupine Tree,Triumvirate, Kansas, Gino Vanelli, Toto, Styx, Steely Dan, all the "Big Bands" from the 40's & 50s, Lucifer's Friend, The Beatles, all the Motown groups. "My latest and most favourite prog recording that lives in my CD changer is from the band FROST* with the CD "Milliontown" released in 2006 - check out this amazing album on Youtube by Jem Godfrey. You will not be disappointed."
