He is currently enroled in an audio engineering program at the Art Institute of Vancouver, and working with a number of artists as a music producer. He is a goofball when he's not getting down to work, but he also likes to spend his spare time creating his own musical experiments. Sometimes he even comes up with something good to listen to. |
