I live and work in London, ON / Deshkan Ziibi. For more than 15 years, I have built a body of work as a writer, singer-songwriter, oral storyteller, and performer, finding inventive ways to bring stories to life and connect them with an audience. Highlights of my work include the short story collection Music for Uninvited Guests (Cringles, 2012), the full-length album Trying to Have it All (Bruce Trail, 2019), and the one-act show Meetings (What Now, ON & Sappyfest, NB, 2026) comprised of new songs and monologues. I also recently co-founded London's Little Lit Fest - entering its second year - with Little Wren Books owner Jenny Berkel. Together, this work has shaped the way I think about voice, narrative, community, and the relationship between a story and its audience.
I am currently seeking publication for my debut novel, excited to share it through the kinds of readings, conversations, and events that have been central to my creative work for many years.
