I am a multi-instrumentalist with a great passion and ear for music. I started my music journey by touring in Canadian indie rock bands (The Paint Movement, The Wilderness of Manitoba). After several crashes in the middle of Saskatchewan I decided to part from the touring life and stay put in my home studio.

I started scoring short comedy videos, films and a CBC radio pilot over ten years ago. I have built my home studio and have honed my skills at creating, mixing and producing music. I have recently completed a full-length concept album, am working on instrumental synthesizer music for an indie video game and write parody songs and perform voices for my comedy podcast. I have the ability to mimic a lot of artists/styles and love a challenge

The Family is a quality quartet from Toronto who recently released their first of what they hope to be many albums. The celebratory spirits of their music is rooted in their long-standing friendship. Elie Maalouf, Rob Riccio, and Mark and Greg Calderone combine to create a musical mosaic of sound. The Family combines the excitement and enthusiasm of soul music with the grit and rhythm of the blues to create an inebriating experience for any willing listener. These young musicians have transformed venues like the El Mocambo, the Mod Club, the Opera House and many others into their very own living rooms, rolling out the rhythm rug for their audiences to dance all over. The Family isn’t simply the band on stage, but rather your humble hosts poised to provide a hell of a party.
