Hi there!

I am a musician, performer, producer and love all things art, animals, food and compassion related
:) always looking to connect with other musicians and explore local areas.

When teaching English in Phnom Penh Cambodia for 14 months I co-created a Jazz-Funk Band "Marsyas" (2013) and in Banff Alberta another group "The Vermillion Funk" (2014).

In Vancouver I perform my solo electronic persona "GLYDE" as well as intimate acoustic singer-song writer.

I am someone who loves animals (vegan), natural thinker and wilderness greeter.
I enjoy the little things in life, getting lost, live music, yoga, stretching, mind expansion, food, good food, yes food!

I am also a seasonal tree planter and studying Expressive Arts Therapy in Fall 2018

I would love to cook for you! :) love cooking!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing searching for musicians and artists within the local scene and I hope to explore the cultural aspects of the community on a more intimate level. Couch surfing offers for me a great way to dissolve for the veil of a preconceived travel agenda. I believe in satisfying my curiosity for the unknown by fully immersing myself in the culture through art, food, nature, ceremony and love,
