In July 2024, I released a short EP of original compositions written during my time at Humber College. ‘Viridescent’ is my first foray into recorded music. This EP features musicians I’m so grateful to have played with and studied with throughout my musical journey. The band features Sam Dickinson on the guitar, who provides lush textures and tasteful solos, Mike Downes, who’s a rock, always making sure the music grooves while keeping it light and nimble, and Mateo Mancuso, who never fails to bring intensity, dynamics, and passion to everything he plays. The goal with the EP was to capture the chemistry of the quartet while staying true to the song-like quality of my tunes. I wanted my tunes to stand alone as good songs, but also allow for - in the words of one of my heroes, Joe Lovano - the creation of music within the music. I hope you enjoy the music!
