About Colin

Colin has been a performing and recording upright and electric bassist for over 8 years and holds a BMus in Jazz Performance and Composition from Capilano University. Hailing from Vancouver and now residing in Montreal, Colin has been a popular accompanist for musicians of all styles, specializing in jazz, R&B, pop, rock, country, and folk. Colin is highly regarded for his collaborative spirit and creative contributions. Apart from his work as an accompanist, Colin also performs as bandleader and composes for jazz ensembles. In recent years, I’ve had the pleasure of performing alongside many of Canada’s great jazz musicians including Bill Coon, Brad Turner, Caity Gyorgy, Jennifer Scott, John Lee, Miles Black and Oliver Gannon. In 2023, I completed a Canadian tour performing with both the Matt Franceschini Trio and JUB!, with notable performances at Frankie’s Jazz Club in Vancouver BC, Hirut Cafe in Toronto ON, and the Rod & Gun in Parksville BC. Later the same year, my group MTN HWY (Mountain Highway) released their debut EP “Through the Trees” which features one composition by each member of the group, including my own work “Death to a Star”.

Colin is a truly wonderful bass teacher. I'm lucky to know him as a teacher, a colleague, and a friend. He is very patient, clear in his instructions, and has a deep knowledge of his instrument that he his passionate to share. Being around him has opened my ears to many things, especially when it comes to jazz, folk, and classical music. Thank you for everything Colin!
