So, word is you grew up playing hockey like a good Canadian?

Yeah, I was a huge jock and hockey was my main obsession. I had the pleasure of playing with some of the greatest female players in the world. But after years of traveling and playing everyday, I was looking for a break. I retired my competitive edge, focused on the "beer" leagues and turned to music as my main outlet.

That seems like a pretty big departure, no?

Not really, because music has always been a huge part of my life; I grew up in the indie music scene, frequenting dive bars to see my favorite punk/hardcore/emo bands. It took a while for me to find my voice, but once I started writing, I couldn't stop. And now, I'm here in New York City playing with my band.

What’s your easy go-to outfit on stage?

I like to stick to my three staples: skinny jeans, button downs and oxfords.

Who would you say is a stylish influencer of our times?

George Clooney. He's talented, charming and always smiling. Plus he's got some serious sex appeal and can rock a suit.
