Welcome to my home page. I run a full-time Disc Jockey, Sound & Lighting Service. I am based in the City of Oshawa, just 30 km east of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I travel all over the southern Ontario area for gigs. I have been in the music industry since 1974. I started out as a guitarist in the early seventies(teenie bopper yrs), then became a roadie for bands. In 1978 I landed my first lighting tech job with a band called the "Madcats" (featuring Grant Fullerton) out of the Toronto area. I went on the road with them for 2 years and ended up meeting a lot of new bands. That brought me more lighting gigs. At the end of 1979 I was offered a job at "The Harbourfront Rollerworks Roller Rink" on the lake front of downtown Toronto. That was my first public appearance as a disc jockey. My job there was a bit of everything from DJing to Management. After a year and a half I was transferred to the new opening of a roller rink at the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls, Canada. That lasted for awhile until it was time to open up my own Disc Jockey Service and move back to Oshawa.
In 1982 I went to George Brown College to take a "Mobile Disc Jockey" course for one term. I then was ready for the big time as a full time DJ. Since then until the present, I have DJed over 200 Weddings, 1,000 Schools, 500 Banquets and DJing in between Bands at concerts. Back in the early 80's I was even working at a local radio station as the FM Operator (CKQT - Oshawa). I also have played in over 100 different Night Clubs/Bars between Niagara Falls - Toronto - Oshawa.
There are times in the past 30 years that I still work with Bands as either a Sound or Lighting Tech and general roadie. Here is a partial list of some of these bands:-
One Wild Night - Bon Jovi Tribute Band, Madcats, Pavlo (classical guitarist), Shaun & David Cassidy, The Stampeders, Wednesday, April Wine, Rush, Triumph, The Kings, Felony, Bond, Fable Manor, The Partland Brothers, Goddo, Saga, Streetheart, Kenny Rogers, Heart, Liona Boyd, Molly Hatchet, A Foot In Cold Water, Max Webster, Teenage Head, Wireless, Molly Johnson, Toronto Senior Strings, D.J. Hopson, etc...
