Origin: Vernon, British Columbia, 🇨🇦
Biography:

I was living and working as a musician in Kelowna in the early 80s and was commissioned by the Okanagan Tourist Association at that time to write a song for their promotional campaign of a Million Dollar Reward for prove the existence of Ogopogo.

As the format of the recording was a 45rpm record, I ended up writing song for the B side called “The OKanagan is OK” . This record was released for sale in The Okanagan and used in broadcast radio markets in cities such as Calgary and Edmonton & Vancouver as a 30 sec. jingle. It was played primarily on Alberta and BC radio stations at that time.

I have been a songwriter for many years and still am. I have an active catalog of my songs placed with Atrium Music in Los Angeles. I live in Nanaimo BC where I own and operate my own

I am also and active musician on the Island and have a popular band here called The Shineolas http://theshineolas.com
