FULL BIO
I spent the last 20 years performing, recording, writing, and producing music almost everywhere in Canada. In 2008 I finished a course that coached and mentored me through a business plan to open a recording studio that would utilize photo-voltaic (solar energy) to power part of the studio. I place 5th in the Venture Forward Business Plan Competition for this idea. In the fall of 2008 I opened the doors to clients. We're now in our 2nd year of business and we have recorded over 10 projects to date, we've done mostly music production however we do plan to diversify into more Commercial VOs, workshops, and film location recording. Our facility is located on the riverside in south downtown Saskatoon. We're currently leasing a space in Ideas Inc. business incubator.
