Introduced to the fist in my chest by increments
it beats, I swear, intent on breaking me down.
And if I open up? Would it let go?
And tell me how, now before I choke

I might miss the unjust treatments,
it had a function, struggled to make a sound.
And if I hide behind? Would it hold my hand?
And slow me down enough to stand.

I wish someone would explain just what it was that chose
to give you all the strength and not the power to know,
I never wanted you so close, wanted you so close.

I wish you’d put into words
what reason you’ve got to make me hurt.
I never understood the worth.

And if I tried to tell you how I felt,
And if I delt the cards you delt,
And if it was not your given right,
And if I could forget that long september night.

Introduced to the fist in my chest by increments,
it beats, I swear, intent on breaking you down.

Breaking you down, it makes that sound.

Write Them Letters Harmony

This bio is old, it's 2022, the rubble of society continue to fester.
I'm in my 30's now and I expect any new music I write will be angry. 

~~~

At a young age I started singing and writing. I have always had a passion for music and this lead to preforming with choirs at Massey Hall, Roy Thompson and various churches and auditoriums. 

A couple years ago I started putting more focus on writing my own music and putting it to the test in the local open mic scene. I now have a full set list and after taking a break from performing in 2013 I am bringing back music as a focus in my life.

Shakespeare's Cafe, Grossman's Tavern, Jang Bang, the Double Deuce, the Press Club, Last Temptation and Not My Dog all have made great hosts and more will be added to that list. I also sing back-up vocals for a few of my friend Lisa M. K. songs (and I am featured on her recent studio album!) and together we've played a few various locations including the Junction Music Fest's acoustic stage, Graffiti's in Kensington, various other locations and most recently Canadian Music Week..

I hope to eventually head-line at Massey Hall but in the mean time I'm in the planning stages of a full studio album of my own. 

The things I post on soundcloud are not typically part of live performances, and are more experiments with composition/theory as I'm still fairly new to guitar technique but I will occasionally post something I'm working on for a song. 

I'd like to keep adding sounds on a regular basis and any feed back is very much welcome. 

Thanks for listening,
