Who are you and what do you do:
I’m a joker, I’m a smoker, I’m a midnight toker. I play my music in the sun..
.
Why do you do what you do:
My friends were all musicians when I was young. If they had of been jocks, things might have turned out differently.
.
Current obsessions:
80′s Dylan. It’s what most people would refer to as “complete shit.” I’m super into it. It’s kinda like when you meet a girl at some bar and she’s wearing giant heels and way too much make up and texting all the time. Underneath all that, she might be a pretty cool chick, but you have to get through that whole annoying production to find out. In my experience, it’s worth it.
.
Song you wish you wrote:
Hey Ya by Outkast. Would be nice to be living off those royalties right now..

Proudest moment:
I’m proud of my mom for being wicked awesome. Every thing she does is awesome and she’s my mom.

Any Toronto show. Playing music for your friends and peers is terrifying.
