News Even though I hail from Montreal, I'm not a bad person! My parents tell me I was born with a microphone in my hand. From recording music with my band to doing stand up comedy to hosting weddings and corporate events and doing radio, I treat a microphone better than some of my family members (they know who they are). Over the last few years I have had the chance to host a radio show on CJLO 1690 AM and complete an internship at CJAD 800 in Montreal. These experiences have given me the chance to interview some of the biggest musical acts such as Charlie Puth, Scott Helman, Alt J, Our Lady Peace, The Sheepdogs, Glass Tiger, Theory of a Deadman and Colin James to name a few. Needless to say I'm a music nut and love talking to people. If you see a lanky redhead walking around, don't be shy and come say hi!
