Sneaky Dees nachos, pasta from Terroni or a superfood salad from Fresh?

Sneaky Dees, especially with friends

Queen or College St?

I don’t spend much time on either anymore, you can find me on Roncesvalles

Trinity Bellwoods or High Park, Riverdale or Kew Gardens?

High Park has been my life saver through this pandemic

EP or LP?

I love LP’s, but my newest is an EP, so they’re cool too!

Early bird or night owl?

Not too late, not too early. Best of both worlds

Road or studio?

Both have their pros and cons, but I’m definitely missing the Road right now

Swiss Chalet or Roti?

Probably roti, but if I could dip it in Swiss Chalet sauce that would be epic.

Where can we follow you?

On my website.

Any shows or albums coming up? 

I recently released my EP “Spectral Acoustic Vol 1”
