GREETINGS AGELESS MUSIC PEEPS!
Welcome to the MUSICISAGELESS website! It is the year 2012… we are really in the future! 2011 turned out to be the most music filled and enlightening year ever. What did you do at 11.11.11? So many special records were made and I was a part of some of the coolest and most critically acclaimed. It was an honor to play guitar on 2 of the biggest albums of last year produced by my friends: Noah ‘40’ Shebib, Doc and Illangello. The album’s were Drake’s Take Care and The Weeknd’s first and second mixtapes: House Of Balloons and Thursday.

There is a lot of work to do as Drake’s Musical Director. Putting the pieces together for my friend’s multi-platinum selling album tour this year is a huge mission. This is how I am spending most of 2012. I get to do what I love to do the most. Play the guitar and travel the world.

2012 is going to be the year that I release my first solo project as well. We’re almost there! Just a few more tweaks and it will be unleashed. Look out for that soon.

In 2011 I was also very proud to co-produce one of the coolest albums that will be coming out in 2012 for another group from Toronto Canada Hill & The Skyheroes. This masterpiece will be out in the spring. Click here for the free E.P

Stay tuned in 2012! It’s going to be another year of nasty guitar riffs, tours and big recordings. Maybe a few guitar lessons for some good peeps as well…

Welcome to my movie everyone!

UPCOMING TOURS & GIGS
Drake’s upcoming Club Paradise Tour will be best and biggest yet. The tour starts on February 14th in Miami. You can buy tickets online.

Or if you are in the U.K or Europe you can find tickets for that leg of tour here.

I have to give it up to @ The Orbit Room for putting up with the A-Team for the past 7 years. Our band gets that club funky, nasty and sweaty every Saturday night and the music is like nothing you have heard before! Unfortunately, you won’t hear much about the band this year as we are taking the year off at the club.

TOURING HIGHLIGHTS
Being on tour with Drake on his Lightdreams and Nightmares Tour was amazing. We played all over North America and Canada. In Europe, he had every ticket single ticket sold in most cities. It was an amazing show. Drake worked hard every night making sure he represented well for the city that he loves. It’s just so cool because I love Toronto also! It has been monumental to say the least. Drake is a legend in the making. Big ups to the young King of Toronto!

Prior to Drake, I was the guitarist for Kylie Minogue. Kylie’s North American tour of 2009 was a huge success! It was Kylie’s first time touring in North America and her fans went crazy. Every show was practically sold out. My personal highlights from the tour were playing the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to a sold-out crowd and a ton of “A” list celebrities. Then we played to a huge crowd in my hometown Toronto where I was thanked so nicely on stage it left me speechless. LOL. We ended the tour playing 3 sold out shows in New York City which was you might say, also pretty “Wow”!

STUDIO UPDATE
Back to work in The Grotto studio only this time it’s to complete my solo project! There are guitars everywhere! LOL…

RECORDING MY 1st ALBUM!!! – Ecclectic Electrix VOL. 1
A few years in the making, but rest assured recording music for my debut album is almost complete. Look out for my outer space adventure’s maiden voyage around February 2012. So far, I would say it’s a loud record. X;

I recorded the guitars on a very special record produced by Martin “Doc” McKinney and Ali Shaheed Muhammed (A Tribe Called Quest).
