About
More recently, I found myself diving head first into all things music related. In 2022 and 2024 I spearheaded the creation of what are the projects I am most proud of: two mixtapes with Ottawa Hip-Hop collective, WESTHILL. With little to no promotion, the tapes have racked up close to 5000 total streams and are a testament to my creativity and love for music. I also took up DJing, securing a number of live gigs for clubs around the Byward Market area and even playing some large-scale outdoor jobs for the University of Ottawa. My “REARVIEW MIX” series, a collection of fun, danceable, meticulously curated tracks, launched in April of 2025 with monthly releases ahead.
On the professional side of things, during my tenure as the manager of the Professional Development Department at the Canadian Musician's Co-operative, I expanded my understanding of the music industry from an inside perspective. This role provided me with invaluable experience in project and program planning and enabled me to build a network of connections with notable figures across the industry. These relationships, combined with my inspirations, have shaped my approach to creative direction, encouraging a balance between artistic experimentation and strategic execution.

As a jack of all trades when it comes to music and art, I put my all into everything that I do. Whether it’s crafting a perfectly cohesive musical experience, working directly with artists, capturing live performances, or pursuing my own artistic endevours, I work to leave a lasting impression and impact on every project I contribute to.
While my musicial journey can be traced back to recieving my first CD (a copy of 50 Cent’s “Get Rich or Die Tryin’) in 2013, it was the Youtube channel I launched in 2019 dedicated to reviewing music and creating reimagined albums of popular Hip-Hop artists that led to my interest in contributing to music-related work on a more public stage. In the next two years I amassed over 3 million views and 15,000 followers across all platofrms, all while finishing my Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications. These experiences equipped me with a strong foundation in storytelling and effective communication strategies, adding to my already diverse background in commercial graphic design, video editing, visual art, and content creation.
