I was born/raised in Brussels (Belgium), pursued my studies in my citizen country of Canada, and took up residency in Las Vegas, USA.
In December 2017, I completed a 16-year world tour drumming for Cirque Du Soleil's touring show ‘Varekai’ where I performed in every one of its 5,219 shows to over 12 million spectators (245 cities in 24 countries on 5 continents).
​
I am presently contracted as Assistant Music Manager/Houseband Drummer for Princess Cruises. I love the travelling that encompasses it which allows me to pursue my other passions - photography, producing videos, writing travel books and using my 6 languages. My dream is to tour arenas internationally with a recording artist/band.
