"I have been fortunate to work with some amazing and caring professionals worldwide, all while doing the thing I love most: to create stories through music one picture at a time. I currently spend my time between Canada and St Kitts & Nevis. When I am not in the studio I enjoy Italian cinema, reading, swimming in the ocean, tai chi and listening to Brahms, Chet Baker, Vangelis and classic film scores”
