About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Following my life force, which is creating a multitude of artforms, mostly a mix of visual projections with electronic music and setting up events for them.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently living everywhere around where I perform.
I enjoy travelling around fun multi-media art projects. I make loop-based dance music and VJ artistic projections for festivals and shows I set up with different cultural associations such as TBA Collective.

I don't party much personally , but sometimes I set up dance parties as a living. My idea of a party is sitting in a room with friends collaborating on a neat art project... haha

PHILOSOPHY

I'm very preplanned, but try to maintain a toaist/go-with-the-flow kinda attitude towards that.
I believe we're all just stews of eachothers environments and personality's so we need to give each other good positive vibes, intention and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
In the summers I live nomadically, not so much using this site for Canada as I have a large social network for places to stay while touring. I'm based in Moncton, New Brunswick Canada half the time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Half of the year, I'm sleeping in tents, on floors, couches and other mysterious places the arts take me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I perform a lot of music and arts festivals playing music, VJ'ing, DJ'ing and live arting at festivals such as: Re:Flux, ECMAs, Messtival, Acadie Rock, Francofete, Evolve and Follyfest.
I'm one of the coordinators for the moustache themed arts and music festival Messtival. I have a solo project that's loopbased dance music where I loop a whole slew of things: http://vimeo.com/user7310486/videos
and play in an acid jazz dance band called Les Paiens, who are currently in the works of releasing a new vinyl this fall, around same time as a CBC documentary comes out about the band.
Pretty stoked :)
This fall I'll be directing two short documentaries on NB artists for this series that gets shared for highschool artclasses on "the process". After that, I will be coordinating the release of a compilation multi-artist vinyl in collaboration with Superbob Records and TBA Collective, sponsored by the City.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy people who also like enjoying people. We all can benefit when we connect with one another and share.
There's much info I'd be happy to share on the audio/visual side of things as multi-media is my jam :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm good at cleaning, great at cooking especially healthy vegetarian meals (but not limited to - I do eat meat), I have good DJ playlists and media I'd be happy to share as well.
