So I recorded these tracks at Kevin Komoranski’s home studio. We recorded these tracks live with no edits. This was a test for doing audio recording at Algonquin College. Kevin is a teacher at Algonquin and we ended up recording the song Truth Serum at Algonquin with his students. The funny part about the recording session at Algonquin was I had a photo shoot to go after so I had to be dressed up all glamorous for 9am all the way till almost midnight. It was a long day, but it was amazing! The track wil possibly be shared in the next few months or so. For now, this is what you get. Free downloads!
So I’ve been currently in a home studio laying some rough tracks to record in studio. I will be posting them quite soon. Mailyne from Dream Love Grow surprised me with this behind the scenes edit from the music video “Hibernate”. Thank you Mailyne for this wonderful surprise, you did a great job!
So Mailyne from Dreamlovegrow.com was unable to do live painting as expected. She just announced she is having a baby! I am so excited and happy for her. She may be moving to the same city as me.This will mean more creative collabs. For Ottawa Fashion Week I had Becky Mearns perform with me both nights. It was such a delight to have her with me up on stage. Ottawa Fashion Week keeps getting better and better! The fashion shows are amazing, they have pro lighting on the run way and a lot of amazing designers and artists that come by. The pictures below are from bookthebooth.ca and Ming Wu a local photographer/events blogger! Thank you for the pictures!
So I’m apart of the China town Remixed. This is when artists collaborate with China town in Ottawa and have local art in many stores as well as performances. This year I will be posting self portraits in a store as well as performing. This is a sneak peak to what is to come.
The photography concept is letting go of the idea of who you think you are. This means to me letting go of the idea of defining yourself by what you do, where you work and what you have. This is my expression of letting that go.
I’ve been very inspired by other self portrait artist/photographers. My friend Richard Desmerais recommended some female photographers that are absolutely stunning. Here are there links for you to enjoy.

My favorite of them all is Rebekka Gudleifs.
I do photo shoots professionally. I have a great list of credentials and experience for photography and encourage you to take a look at my new website.
Some of my credentials include: I have a photography diploma, I’ve shot weddings overseas, worked for many established magazines, and much more.
I’m currently booking overseas weddings, local weddings, portraits and architecture shoots.
Other exciting things that are coming up are:
I’m doing traditional inuit throat singing for Canadian Future Achievers
If you want to see my Inuit throat singing collaboration watch the video below:
Canadian Future Achievers is a great organization to donate to. This is mostly private funded non for profit that gives money to minority youth that are doing an exceptional job at school. They provide financial incentives as well as other incentives to be supported in continuing their education.
I have a modelling gig in Toronto this coming month for http://www.davidscott.com/
I will be doing a head shot with cupcakes!
This is what he has been doing so far for his body of work.
I have also modelled for other commercial photographers such as Richard Desmerais, this is what came of the shoot we did together.
I really enjoy both modelling and photography. I enjoy them both for different reasons, but truly feel lucky that I get to have fun on the job.
Love and Good melodies
