Artists I’ve Worked With
In just over 2 decades, I’ve had the pleasure of writing, performing, and recording with a multitude of talented artists for both the stage and the studio. Some of the artists I’ve had the privilege of working with include:
Parliament Owls
A Span Is All That We Can Boast (2019)
Written over several years and recorded in the summer of 2018, “A Span Is All That We Can Boast” is my proudest achievement to date. We worked countless hours on this record. Half the album was recorded in our guitarist’s living room/basement, and half at Humber College’s state of the art recording studio. Couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out, and I learned so many new things with this being the first true full length album I was a part of. As with all of my own personal projects, I try to keep the drums as natural as possible, minimal edits, zero quantizing, no triggers, and a drum sound that is true to the kit that I recorded on.
This album and its release sprouted many new friendships, and fostered a little community in our city, which led to music videos, a small tour of Canada’s East Coast, and sold out shows.
Proud to say I performed, produced, co-wrote, and assisted with editing on this record.
Lost Cousins
Point No Point (2023)
Recorded in June 2021 at a secluded chalet in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, Point No Point was an adventure to make. I joined the band right before the pandemic took hold of the world, so a lot of the writing process for this album was done in isolation, and it took extensive coordination just to get things to happen.
I shared drum duties on this album with our singer Cam (who was the original drummer in the band), we each played on about half the songs.
Up until this point in my career I had almost exclusively been recording heavier rock and metal music, but indie rock is a style I’ve always loved listening to and playing.
Producing and playing on this album is one of the few things I look back fondly on when thinking about the otherwise difficult stretch of time that was the pandemic.
The highlight of the album for me is the final song “Leaving”, which I contributed the most to, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
Shipley Hollow
Infinite Zest (2019)
Infinite Zest was recorded in our guitarist Sean’s living room in 2019, and I think we tracked all of the drums in one session.
Out of all the records I’ve worked on, I’m most proud of my drum compositions on this one. These songs are insanely fun to play. Working with these pushes me to get creative, and I made an effort to play beats and grooves that not only matched what everyone else was doing, but also were parts I had never heard any one else play before.
I go back to this album frequently, the parts are just so much fun to play and I can only hope that it resonates with others as much as it does for me.
Sean Aston Mac
Caught Your Eye (Single)
Partnering up with Sean again in 2026 after our work together in Lost Cousins was a no-brainer. “Caught Your Eyes” is a beachy summer track we recorded in Spring 2026 with Thomas Dashney on keys (also from Lost Cousins) and Cameron Breithaupt (Babygirl) on guitar.
If you’re into The Beach Boys/The Beatles, give this one a spin!
Shipley Hollow
Change EP (2017)
I am very proud of this little EP “Change”. After joining Shipley Hollow less than a year before this, this was the first record with them where I got to write all of the drum parts. We had just wrapped recording on the “Eating the Entertainment” EP a few weeks prior, and were presented an opportunity to utilize more studio time, so we took it, and recorded the whole EP live off the floor in one session.
I remember it being so cold outside the night we recorded this that my floor tom started peeling. The energy in the room kept us warm though, as these songs were so much fun to play.
“Crepuscular Dystrophy” is still to this day one of my proudest works.
Shipley Hollow
Eating the Entertainment EP (2017)
“Eating the Entertainment” was my first recorded work with Shipley Hollow, even though it released after the “Change” EP. It was recorded as one of our member’s recording projects at Humber College. I had just joined the band several weeks prior so a lot of these songs were written by the previous lineup. I was adapting and reworking some really incredible drum parts that were laid down by their previous drummer.
I was a fan of Shipley Hollow long before joining. I grew up alongside them as our different bands and projects shared the stage many times, so they were always on my radar. When the offer came to record and play shows with them, it was an easy yes.
Parliament Owls
Parliament Owls EP (2017)
The “Parliament Owls” EP acted as my final recording project for my time at Humber College. It felt like a bold decision to make, to record a progressive post-hardcore record while attending a jazz program, but the school was supportive of all styles and genres. This allowed me to really go all out and showcase a heavier, more aggressive of what I wanted to represent musically.
I formed Parliament Owls initially with this recording project in mind, but we quickly realized we could take this project far beyond just the studio. Shortly after release, we began playing shows and looking for a singer.
I did all the editing myself, and this was the first release where I truly felt like the recording sounded how the music felt in my head while writing it. It was a big moment for younger me, and I’m happy I was able to take the project further and release a full length with this group a couple of years later.
Caitie’s Classroom
Caitie’s Countdown to Christmas (2023)
“Caitie’s Countdown to Christmas”, was a fun project to work on with Caitie for her highly successful children’s Youtube channel “Caitie’s Classroom”. Recorded alongside fellow Parliament Owls’ members Joseph Martel and Hayden Crocker, along with Zach Marsh, who’s worked with both The Muppets and Pixar this album spans many genres of music, from blues, to rock and roll, to New Orleans jazz, and the arrangements were lots of fun to put together.
This was also the first project I worked on to crack over a million views/streams!
Aeria
You Didn’t Want Me – Single (2022)
Aeria was a friend from my college years, so when she reached out to see if I’d be down to play on her single “You Didn’t Want Me”, I was very on board. It was a lot of fun coming up with a drum part to elevate the back half of the song.
Katie Mal
The Liberty Sessions (2026)
Katie asked me to play on this cool little live session recorded in an empty studio warehouse in Toronto’s Liberty Village. We knocked all the songs out in a couple hours and had a lot of fun doing it!
