Hey sweethearts,
I just want to share that I will be sharing more and more covers on YouTube. I recently recorded Julia Michael's Issues. This song just gets me in a really good mood. I absolutely love it! You'll notice, I've added an original rap in my cover. I was just singing along to the karaoke and started writing to it and decided to go with it. This is how I felt the song. It reflects the style that I'm working into my new material. I've been writing a lot of songs that I haven't posted yet but I am waiting for the right time. This is a good example of something you will hear in my future originals. Check the the vid out below!
I just bought a camera (link below) to film some YouTube videos and covers. I'm fairly new at using it and I don't have the proper lighting yet but I'm having quite a bit of fun recording. My Malibu cover by Miley Cyrus was filmed in the dark and it's pretty obvious to see but I really love this melody and Miley's new sound. I had to do so many takes cause there are so many lyrics that I just kept forgetting.😜 I finally decided to just post it anyway, despite the darkness and the huge headphones on my head which leads to the equipment I used to record. I bought the Scarlett Focusrite bundle which works pretty well. I love recording live. I still gotta adjust the sound right but hopefully I'll get it soon. After watching what I filmed, I realized I looked ridiculous with those headphones🤣and that I will eventually re-record it . I'm looking for alternatives if you guys have any good recording suggestions or tips. Here is the vid if you haven't heard my version yet. I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to sub for more vids!
It's already February 2017! The month of LOVE. The same month that also hosts the famous Italian San Remo Festival every year. I wish to someday sing on that stage and check it off my bucket list! In the spirit of that, I write this blog today, with the official release of a special composition. I will get to that shortly.
I can't believe how fast time file but I can feel this is gonna be a great year. I've been keeping busy in studio preparing my indie album and working on new videos with my team. I've been waiting for the perfect time to release my latest tracks. They've been chilling in my laptop for way too long. I'm just really taking my time to get them right and I will very soon.
In the midst of all the madness, I've gotten the opportunity to experience something wonderful at a renowned songwriting competition in Italy last October. I am due to finally post this song.—so many of you have asked and I'm finally putting it up on YouTube! I was chosen to represent Canada in the international category of Il Cantagiro. I came back to my hometown with pride and a victory for my performance of "Il Piu Bello Dei Segreti"(composed by myself & Pascal Mailloux). Many of you already know of my Italian background but those who are close to me know how much I care about my Italian roots and culture and what winning this type of competition means to me. I grew up listening to Italian music and a lot of my inspiration came from it. Many Italian stars performed at this show and it was truly an honor to be among these artists. Gratitude is everything and nothing is ever truly done alone… So, I take the time here, to thank those who supported me on this journey. Thank you to Stefano Giorgilli from the Universo Hotel, for his hospitality and kindness, as well as Emidio Buonamici for encouraging me to take on this last minute adventure and putting in the good word. A big thank you to Pat Buttino for sharing his guidance and believing in me to send me to the festival. The contest itself was amazing and took place in beautiful Fiuggi. A little frisky cause we are up in the mountains but "what a gem!". I was really living in the moment and didn't take enough pictures. Although, I regret not taking more, I think that I subconsciously just wanted an excuse to go back and visit again! That being said, the level of talent in Italy is just tremendous. The organizers Enzo, Elvino and Mario were all very warm hearted and knowledgeable of the music industry. I got the opportunity to make friends, contacts and unforgettable memories. This was a last minute decision to participate but I am so glad I did! We miss out 100% on the chances we don't take. New experiences help us to grow and I still feel I have lots to learn. On that note, I leave you guys with my winning composition "Il Piu Bello Dei Segreti''.
Song Background
This song was written in 2012 with composer/arranger Pascal Mailloux during the recording of my first studio album. The track was originally all italian and dressed up with lots of instrumentation. We stripped it down to acoustic and added some english verses bringing it back to life in late September 2016. The song is about an affair or forbidden love… A woman who speaks to her lover about this impossible love that could never be. Although this tends to be viewed as negatively, the emotions in this song are about being content with the love they share and how their love story will always remain a beautiful secret…
My next shows:
I don't wanna bore you guys with all the problems I've been having with my Mac but I will try to post more regularly!

It was tough to keep it in for so long that I had co-write my first original Christmas song with the amazing Dave Stephen. YOU'RE ALL I WANT THIS CHRISTMAS! I was clearly inspired by Mariah's Christmas classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You". It was not intended to sound like it, although, I don't find it does. That being said, Mariah will always be the #1vocalist of all centuries in my heart. #Lamb4life. No intention to diss anyone… I just love Mariah! I literally used to go to bed playing the "Fantasy album" in my cd player. :P
I am so happy to share the lyric video with you all and I really hope you enjoy it.
It was officially released digitally worldwide today 25/11/15! Download or stream and make sure to add it to your playlist for the holidays.
I'm back with great news about my single! It has been playing more and more across Canada & Quebec! Thank you to all the radio stations that got on board with both English and French singles "I Wanna Dance With You" and "Viens Danser Avec Moi"! BIG THANK YOU to K94 FM, KRAZE FM, CKXS FM, THE GIANT in Cape Breton and Montreal's very own 94.7 THE HITS FM! It's really tough to break in this industry as an independent artist but I am hustling, writing and working hard on this new project. Most of the remixes are almost done (Leo Roche, Amir Hoss) and a new album will soon be on it's way. A very big collaboration with producer Dave Stephen. My fans will get to hear a different side to my songwriting and personal songs that come straight from the heart. I love writing party and dance songs because I want to create happiness and joy into the listener's heart. I am thankful for all of you that personally inbox me that my music cheers you up and puts you in a great mood. That's the goal!
Great news is that the song is # 1 on Top Indecouvertes, the europeean independent artist's chart. Finally moved my way up there! Thank you to everyone who has been voting! Keep requesting "I wanna Dance With You"! I will be back with more updates soon!
Ciao! Ciao!
