Discography

 

The Greatest Gift is a Christmas song I wrote about finding meaning in life’s simplest, most profound moments. I often find those moments when I’m with my children. If you’re a parent, I think that this song will resonate with you in a special way. Tap the cover art to play it and add it to your Christmas playlist, and let’s make this season unforgettable!
 
 
I wrote Sun On The Horizon one early morning in Casablanca, watching ships sail into the horizon. It made me think about the sailors on those ships, and the many overseas workers who leave and their loved ones who wait. It’s also a tribute to my Tita who left the Philippines to bring more opportunities for our family, and to my mom who raised me as a single parent in Canada with strength and love.
 
 
Pour un instant was part of the soundtrack of my life growing up in Montreal. I’ve secured the rights and recorded a cover in honour of that memory and I’m so grateful to finally share it with you. I live out west now but everytime I hear this classic song by Harmonium, I’m taken right back to my childhood…to those formative years filled with wonder, challenges, and new beginnings. Click on the album cover art to stream it now on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you listen.
 
 
I first wrote Dance With You in 2011 for my wife, just as we were beginning our life together and about to become parents for the first time. It was a simple love song, full of hope and the joy of building a family. Fast forward to today…we’re now a family of four and the song means even more than it did back then. This new acoustic version is my way of coming back to the heart of it all. What started as a love letter to my wife now feels like a promise to our kids too: no matter what, they’ll always have a place in my arms and in my heart.

Love & Peace (A Quarryman’s Hymn) is a musical journey through John Lennon’s life from the loss of his mother Julia, to the heights of The Beatles, through his solo years and quest for peace, and finally to the memorials in Central Park. Both elegy and celebration, the song reflects Lennon’s legacy with reverence and heart. Click the cover art to stream it on your favourite platform. 

 

 

Voice Of A Prayer. On a quiet night atop St. Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal, I sat with the city lights stretching below me, reflecting on the changes ahead. I was about to become a father for the first time. The weight of that moment, the excitement, the uncertainty, the deep resolve, settled into my bones. I made a promise to be there for my children, to give them what I never had, to make whatever sacrifices were necessary. As I often do at the Oratory, I said a silent prayer, letting the stillness carry my thoughts. And when I stood to leave, I felt a weight lifted from my shoulders, carried away by a brand new song in my head.
