His music has been performed by Montreal’s Metropolitan Orchestra and is regularly featured in films, games and audio-visual projects around the globe.
Skillfully blending piano, guitars, lush string arrangements, ethnic instruments and found sounds he collects around the world, his compositions range from soft melody-driven underscores to rich and powerful cinematic orchestrations.

His first co-directed short film The Botanist has been screened at Hot Docs, TIFF Top Ten, AFI Docs and has won numerous awards including Best Short Film at RIDM (Montreal’s international Documentary Festival).
