My name is Qu... how do you do!
I am a Multi Instrumental performance artist from Wallaceburg with a passion for creating engaging live music that connects local communities with what I like to call “Modern Folk Songs” these are songs that are nothing new yet never grow old and are guaranteed to compel everyone with a pulse to sing along, dance along or relax and invite states of inner peace with soothing tones from my selection of North American flutes and Steel drum. It is my personal mission to facilitate each performance with the intention of supporting and inviting others to explore and experience music as a medicine and as a opportunity to nourish and grow our community with a spirit of optimism for long lasting harmonious relationships. Thank you for hearing the music within and joining me for a moment of connection and celebration, lets go and make lasting memories together!

"The songs that I perform have all been requested by my audience. As an acoustic cover artist I feel that my work is a reflection of the inspirations and joys brought out from the community. I carry this gift with me to every show, coffee house, street corner and quiet home concert. As the years go by, I have seen that there are a handful of songs that are universally loved and requested. I have built a set list that is the pure distillation of all these cherished songs from all ages."

"If we want to heal, we first need to invite joy and be in a state of reverence. The simplest way to arrive in these states is through song, dance and breath."

Each moment is crafted to suit the needs of the listener and space. Relax around the fire and whistle along to the finger style solo acoustic guitar, ground your feet to the earth with a drum circle dance until you collapse and are bathed in the sound of low humming singing bowls, accompanied with the reflective droning of the native American flute.
Though I was born in raised in the big city of Toronto, I currently reside in Wallaceburg Ontario with my wife and daughter, enjoying the quiet coziness of small town life and providing musical enjoyment at local farmers markets, festivals, retirement homes, local bars/venues and and yoga retreat events.
