B I O G R A P H Y
I just completed a 16-year world tour drumming for Cirque Du Soleil's touring show ‘Varekai’. After having performed in every one of its 5,219 shows to over 12 million spectators in 245 cities (24 countries & 5 continents), the show took its final bow.
I am presently contracted as the showband/theater 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 to tour arenas internationally with a recording artist may direct me to Nashville or Los Angeles.
I was born/raised in Brussels (Belgium), pursued my studies in my citizen country of Canada, and took up residency in Las Vegas, USA. I have travelled to 3,500 cities in 155 countries on 7 continents.
