I’m an artist based in Victoria, BC. Since 2013. I’ve played well over a hundred shows nationally, explored a plethora of genre-territory including electronic (broadly), free jazz, noise rock, hip-hop, folk, and ambient across 50+ albums. I’ve made 4 movies, written a novel, and messed around in a broad variety of methods and mediums throughout my adult life. I’ve always been preoccupied with capital-G Genre. My work is thus ‘Genre art’; the same way one talks about ‘Genre film’. Virtuosity is something I admire but do not aspire to. This is simply DIY play.

In 2025, I released an album a month (plus one) across my many projects, finished my second feature film In the Land of Fish and Honey alongside John Ledingham, and put my debut novel HOG up for pre-order.

Primarily, I release music under my own name. My 6th solo studio album, a dub-techno inspired release, Chain of Memories was the 37th most played album across Canadian community radio for the month in March 2022. Since then, I’ve sped things up and released countless experimental records. I occasionally DJ as a way of sharing my electronic dance-floor-appropriate work.

I sometimes perform live doing free-form spoken-word screamo with Math Rock virtuoso drummer supreme i.o aka Maxwell Patterson as his part-time lead singer. We opened for The Body together. We released our first album with me on vocals called The Beatniks Didn’t Save the Worldin 2026 with a follow-up or two on the way.

Additionally, Maxwell and I have a band called Really Loud Free Jazz wherein I play tenor sax, with a self-titled album produced by Jeremy Ugro released in September of 2024. We are now been joined by Liliana Wilson of Coup D’Etat on the bass, and will have a record done as a trio soon enough.

I retired my first musical project, a hip-hop alias called Philip Morris, in 2022; I did 6 solo albums and one collab under this name. However, inspired by doing a silly BBL Drizzy freestyle for my pals, I revived PM and released my seventh album ILL PROBABLY STILL RAP WHEN IM FORTYin September 2024 followed by a collab record with Huddy called Ian in the Winter; now I make about one rap album a year. In the interim, I started spirtual successor of sorts, a more singer-songwriting-oriented project called Perfect Match (also acroynmed PM) which is now a full-on band with Chris Stander, Yani Sahnoun, Tamsen McKerley, and Noah Leverton. Our debut single “The Chase” is out now. I do singer-songwriter solo stuff under the name Big Bird.

I used to front an improvisational noise-rock band called SCHOOLGIRL with Keenan Mittag-Degala (of Elan Noon & Loving fame) and Liam Crocker. We opened for Deafheaven, Daughters, and Freak Heat Waves, and collaborated with N0V3L, Arrington De Dionyso, Sister Blanche, and Katsura Yamauchi.

I used to have a prolific experimental lofi project called Formidable Liquorice, which I estimate involved collaborations with over 50 people, which since evolved into my more-focused-but-still-playful eponymous work. Lastly, I have at least two secret bandcamps. I’m a sound-guy, too.
