About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make music. see the world...hopefully at the same time

ABOUT ME

I'm all about music. I'm a musician, DJ and producer. I play guitar and bass and whatever else I can get my hands on. I've done countless tours across Canada with my old band Moses Mayes.

I DJ and perform under the name Cyclist... mostly boogie, disco and house styles. Check it out here:

I'm finding during my travels that I'm pretty much up for anything. I'm mostly interested in checking out the local music scenes...especially any disco or indie dance bands or DJs. Also funk, soul bands. Well anything good and interesting actually.

I'm not much of an outdoorsy kind of guy but I'd love it if someone dragged me out hiking, mountain biking, surfing etc.
