Voluntary Self-Identification

The Arty Crowd funding sources require inclusion of members who identify as belonging to priority groups encompassing: Indigenous, ethnocultural communities, rural or remote residents, youth, and Francophones (english and french). Hamilton Arts Council further wants to measure its success in attracting members from all the diverse groups we serve in the Greater Hamilton Area arts community, including those who are LGBTQ2S+, and persons with disabilities. We will use the aggregates of the information collected here to measure our success in making The Arty Crowd an accessible and safe space for all who join. We thank the members of the committee from the Safer Spaces Project who advised us in creating an inclusive self-identification process.

Biography / Artistic Statement / Creative Vision

I'm a 27 year old singer/songwriter/performer -born and raised in east-central Hamilton. I began playing piano at age six and learned guitar shortly after, formed my first band in grade eight (although I had to teach my bandmates their instruments, we only managed to perform one single song). Throughout secondary school I played in multiple bands singing as a front man, playing keys and saxophone. At 18 I left home and moved to Ireland, being an unprepared youth I eventually resorted to busking in the streets of Dublin hoping to make enough money to stay in a hostel, and eat. The experience led me to consider music as a career and I enrolled into and graduated from Centennial's Music Industry Arts and Performance program where I deepened my love of the Soul and RnB music my ensemble and I performed. Hamilton has a rich proud history in punk rock music and I've certainly been a patron and appreciator of it, but I'd like to be a part of furthering the landscape of our music scene to see more diversity in genre and perspective.
