#introduction post: I'm a #contemporaryclassical #composer, premiering works on concert stages since 16 years ago. I'm a #musicwriter mostly for Musicworks magazine (Toronto). I also do indie research on contemporary music+postcoloniality with a published journal article and a forthcoming book chapter.

I'm a #ClassicalMusic #pianist who dabbled into bands. I'm also a #SynthPop #singersongwriter as "Grumpy Kitty Boy." I studied Japanese koto eons ago and have my own instrument.

Let's connect!

Entirely confessional, heartfelt and joyful, @SimplyRedHQ return with a bang with their new album ‘Time’ - my latest review is up over at @ClashMagazine.

40 songs reinterpreted in the most compelling way - why the new album from U2 is so much more than just an unplugged greatest hits package.

I wrote a piece on the new Gorillaz album ‘Cracker Island’ for Clash Magazine. The virtual virtuosos’ eighth studio album sees them at their expansive, genre-bending best delivering a succinct and absorbing new body of work.

I had the pleasure of interviewing the magnificent Shania Twain for Clash Magazine chatted about her spectacular new album ‘Queen of Me’, singing with Harry Styles and why you just got to ‘keep on trucking!’

I wrote a piece on the fantastic SAM SMITH for Clash Magazine on their new album ‘Gloria’ which is a real powerhouse of a record.

It is truly a ‘decadent, dance-fuelled and defiant’ collection of work that not only showcases their impressive vocal versatility and musical prowess, but also an edgier and more playful side to both their personality and music.
