I’m a long time veteran of the Montreal music scene. I started playing in church fairs, variety shows, and private parties since the young age of 13. After completing High School, I decided to study music at the College level. There I spent three years as a student of Robert Slapcoff, who is a percussionist for the M.S.O., and with Nassier Abdul Khabard, who played with Dizzy Gillespie.

After College, I started to work in a local recording studio called R.I.O. This studio was also a record company that was owned and operated by Bob “Rags” Ramaglia (Donald K. Donald, Aquarius Records, Manager for Corey Hart and April Wine) and John Van Diest. There, I learned the “in’s and out’s” of the music business as an engineer and studio musician for 2 years with the guiding hand of John and mentorship of Bob.

Throughout these years I spent time playing the club and festival circuit with both original and cover bands along with my longtime Pink Floyd tribute “Eclipse“. These shows had me play on stages with such acts as Loverboy, Honeymoon Suite, B.T.O, Wild T and the Spirit, The Headpins, Nazareth, April Wine, Steppenwolf, Sloan and with YES at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto.

From 1999 to 2002 I was the touring drummer for EMI artist INFINI-T. They had 3 top ten singles in Quebec and toured the festivals with crowds ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 people. I appeared in their videos and live performances on both Musique Plus (their CD Launch) and Much Music. INFINI-T performed as the musical guest on Canada’s ‘Open Mike with Mike Bullard‘ show in Toronto along with Mad T.V.’s Will Sasso and Sylvester Stallone’s mother Jackie Stallon. This show was Mike Bullards highest rated show of that year with an estimated 1.2 Million viewers.

In 2006, I left for Casablanca, Morocco to play at the famous Armstrong club with my cover band. We played 6 nights a week for 3 months which was quite the experience. I returned to Morocco two more times since to play at the Sofitel (a 5 star luxury hotel) in Agadir and in Marrakech for the International Film Festival.

Floyd Story Productions Inc. was created to produce ‘Eclipse – The PINK FLOYD Story‘. A full out multimedia production with videos, moving lights and lasers. A sound and visual experience. Aside form being the drummer in this project, I was also responsible for all the video editing and creation, sound sampling and sequencing, visual consultant and all graphic work relating to promotion and website. The band played festivals, theaters, arena tours and sold out the Forest National arena in Brussels, Belgium.

 

Currently I’m touring with Quebec Blues Harmonica virtuoso Guy Belanger. We recorded his 10th album in January of 2025 at Abbey Road Studios in Studio 2. It was just released August 22, 2025. The coming year will be a busy one with Guy promoting and touring for this album.
