about

Trained as an architect and orchestral contrabassist, I am a multidisciplinary artist, exploring the interaction between sound and design. My research includes experimental instrument design, composition, improvisation, sound installation, and performance.

I have premiered compositions across Europe and Canada. Recent highlights include the premier of Death and the Rest by Ensemble Modelo 62 at Gadeamus Muziekweek in Utrecht, and Wild Bells no. 3 at Bauchhund in Berlin. I make instruments from wood and clay.

I am mixed-race Indo-Caribbean and European ancestry and currently living on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (Vancouver, CA).
