UNCUT tags him “a master of gothic understatement” and NOW Magazine award him the title of Best Singer/Songwriter in Toronto. His heartwrenching voice and earnest performance has won him stagetime with such acts as Dolly Parton, Martha Wainwright, Patty Griffin, and Blue Rodeo. He pens the kind of songs that earn him four star reviews from Toronto Star, NME, Exclaim, Globe & Mail and London Times and showcases in Cannes, NYC, Nashville, UK and Italy. His songwriting landed him a publishing deal with EMI Music and comparisons to greats like Gram Parsons, Townes Van Zandt and up and comers Ryan Adams and Bright Eyes.
