About

I'm a partially deaf musician from Toronto working with lots of different genres and instruments. Created Transit 2 in collaboration with Baby Audio, which won Best Plugin of 2025 from Sound On Sound, as well as the iOS and Android music making app Flip Sampler. I have an online music production class, a book called Make Your Own Rules, and 40+ albums out which you can find at the links below.
