Over the years I’ve had the privilege of wearing many musical hats. Most people know me as a founding member of Loverboy, but alongside the rock and roll I’ve always had a quieter, more personal side to my work — composing original pieces for film, television, and the concert stage.

I’m a classically trained pianist, and my compositions draw on a lifelong love of the great European masters — Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy — as well as the profound influence of Keith Emerson and Oscar Peterson. It’s an eclectic mix of inspirations, but one that I think keeps my writing emotionally direct and hopefully always a little surprising.

My debut solo album Notes to Self collects ten original pieces for piano, strings, and flute. It’s the music I’ve always wanted to make: intimate, carefully constructed, and unhurried.

I’m based in the Vancouver area of British Columbia, where I continue to tour with Loverboy, write for television and film, and develop my catalog as a solo composer.
