Music has always been important to me.
I grew up playing the piano and eventually learned the Clarinet and Bass Trombone. I was also facinated by computer generated music. One of the first programs I had for my Commodore 64 was “Music Maker”. I was attracted to the Amiga computer not only for its graphics capabilities, but what it could do with sound too. How many of you remember Aegis Sonix?
In 1982, I was introduced to pop music. The days of Cindy Lauper, and Michael Jackson. It felt like everything was so new – a whole world opened up to me. I was the only one in my immediate family that seemed to like this kind of music. Everyone else was listening to classical.
Over the years my tastes matured and I listen to a range of different artists, and styles. I love talking to people about the music scene in Canada, and learning about artists we’ll probably never hear of in Canada or North America.
I also write music, I’ve been doing this since 2003. If you’d like to check me out at:
