I was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I have always loved great art in all forms, especially Music and began playing and performing when I turned 16. I use technology and tradition to shape my musical creations into a wide variety of stylistic expressions. I am a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and teacher. I play mainly, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, & ukulele...Infinite Blessings! ~Arthur~
