BIOGRAPHY
Born and raised in Montreal, I learned a bit of
classical piano when I was very young then started guitar in the summer of
'69 :)
I've been doing shows
since the early 1970s in various Montreal and Toronto bands, performing in
venues such as the Colisée de Québec and le Café Campus,
jamming with and learning from luminaries
like
Frank and Vince Marino (I was in a short-lived
band with Vince in the 70s) and playing with
people such as François
Bourassa (a schoolmate)
in Montreal, and in
Toronto with players such as
Jeff Healey, Tony Springer, Lori
Yates, etc.,
in
clubs
like
Derringer's
and the Upper Lip in the 80s.
I've also
played guitar for Miranie Morissette.
I worked at music
stores such as Steve's in Montreal, and
I
also
had bit of
a
career as a
published photographer with
works in many magazines, books, newspapers and web sites;
I
shot
shows of bands such as the Rolling Stones,
Black Sabbath, etc., and I also shot
2 albums for
the band Anvil.
I
have a BA in History and Music Technology (2000) and a MLIS (2002) from
McGill U where I taught in 2003 and 2005.
And amongst other interesting things, I'm
doing editing for my mother Charlotte Fielden's books and French
translation for Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan's Web site,
Caramba

ENDORSEMENTS
I am using
Godin guitars on
AraPacis's live shows and on some tunes of our first CD and most tunes from
all our other ones! The Godin xTsa is a fantastic axe that I can use to get an acoustic
or electric sound as well as drive a Roland Synth with - the triple
combination is really incredible-sounding!
I really enjoy the feel of my Clayton picks, they're comfortable and
sturdy!
I use Roland and Boss equipment to get the many sounds I use live and in
the studio, especially my SY-300, my ME-70, and my Studio Capture
for recording,
just fantastic and versatile gear!

BIOGRAPHY Born in Edinburgh Scotland, I came to Montreal in 2008, and had
been practicing the songs on and off for 4 years, I'm glad I can
actually sing them now with the band - since 2013!
