This last year I was fortunate enough to be approved for JSR funding. This funding really came at the right time, as I was beginning work on my new album Distant Danger, and just came off a 2018 JUNO Award nomination for my previous FACTOR funded album The Grand Hustle. I really took my time with this project and worked as a co-producer to really mould the sound of this record. With FACTOR’s support I also travelled to Germany to showcase at Reeperbahn and Kelowna, British Columbia for BreakOut West. As a result of my hard work and FACTOR’s contribution to my career, I was nominated for a 2019 JUNO Award for Adult Contemporary Album and a 2019 Western Canadian Music Award for BreakOut Artist of the Year.
