About

Bio and how they support artists

While no longer in radio I previously was in the industry for 17 years of experience, I’ve been recognized as Canada’s Music Director of the Year in 2021 and 2022 (and a runner-up in 2020 and 2023). I’ve championed some of the biggest bands in the country, specializing in Alternative, Rock, and Folk, but I’ve got a soft spot for pop too! I thrive on working with emerging artists, helping them refine their sound, and spent over a decade curating a weekly program spotlighting independent talent from coast to coast. Let’s make some noise! I’m here to elevate your song from good to great. My talent lies in transforming music into something more mainstream and accessible. With experience in alternative, pop, and rock radio, I have strong connections in the radio industry and across all three major labels, plus numerous indie labels. Send me what you got from rough demos, to ready-to-release tracks!
