You know what they say: big tires + big jacket = big year. 2025 brought us funny photos of Gordon, and I found out what it would look like if Rivers Cuomo and I had a baby. It has been nice. In the music department it ruled.

Thanks to everyone who worked with me, you are all wonderful. 2026 is booking fast so get at me to make some tunes!

2024 ruled. It was the busiest year I ever had by a long shot. I worked on over 40 projects and did over 175 songs. Also consumed a record amount of caffeine. That's a wrap on recording sessions for the year, I'm spending the rest of the year catching up on mixing. Thanks to The Murms, Cold Like Penguins, King Theory, Dual Nature, Spud McKenzies, The Smelters, Mellow The Lion, Trashed Ambulance, Counterfeit Jeans, Mom Weed, Regal Foul, Fire Next Time, King Thief, Reign of Error, Kyle Roder, Alexi Can't Hang, Reform, Old Wives, Midnight Peg, Fools, Carpoolers, Josh Smeenk, Cinch, When April Met July, Nicolas Rage, Forester, Loser Points, Owen Lukawesky, SoftKlub, Paint Bomb, Dorjay, Redhi, Garrett Dale, Thy Mistrel, Super Ego, Sean Merrick, Forrest Lor, Ronan Freed, Samuel Mize, Permission Slip, Brandy Fitzgerald, Grant Mendoza, and Rudder. Thank you to my good pal Terry Tran and @theaudiodepartment for letting me set up shop there, it's such a great room and I'm very lucky to be apart of the team! Big shout out to the best assistant in the world Graham Strach. Thanks to my bandmates Shaun, Darren, Ryan, Jed, Tyler, and Spencer for a great year. These guys are some of my best buds in the world and if it wasn't for them I'd probably not be playing in bands. 2025 is booking up quick and I am booking into March currently so if you are looking to lay down some tracks get at me!

My pal Garrett of @redcityradio and I had a great time laying down some tracks last night. We might have solved music!

In 2023 I got to work on some great projects with even greater people. Worked on just over 30 projects this past year. Here are some pictures of 2023 and one of my dog Gordon reading a book. Bands shown are @trashedambulance @realsickies @griefweek @kingthief.music and Nick Jonas. Big thanks to @theaudiodepartment for letting me hang my hat there. It's the best studio in the area by far, and I'm extremly lucky/ proud to be apart of the team. Let's record there. Tip of the cap to @drrnchwk for always helping me out at the studio. He's a deadly drummer, bandmate, and a great guy all around. Booking for Feb/ March right now so let's get that record you want to release this summer done! #yegmusic
