I’ve blogged in the past. These various weblogs always lacked consistency and focus – I didn’t know what I wanted to do with them. After putting some thought into the “why” of starting a blog, I’m feeling optimistic about the future of Tonguetwistedink.com.
I’m 24.
I am currently NOT married to a woman, though I AM married to a rock band.
I started Hello Kelly in 2004. Over 30 musicians have come in and out of Hello Kelly over the years. Sigh.
I’ve released 5 records to date. The latest one, “Hello Kelly” was my first full-length release, produced by Adam Smith, released on 7Spin Music on April 12, 2008 and distributed by Provident Music Distribution.
I never set out for Hello Kelly to be a strictly a Christian band, but I’ve been blessed with some really amazing opportunities in the Christian music industry. At this writing, I’m a week away from beginning production of the second full-length Hello Kelly record, which will be produced by Adam Smith, and have more of a mainstream industry focus than any of my previous work.
I was born in Northern Ontario but grew up in Orangeville, ON., a small city an hour north of Toronto.
Whenever I’m home, I attend a dance-club-turned-church called 247 in Burlington. If my pastor growing up taught me anything, it was the importance of being humble, serving others and that being a Christian doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to offend other Christians.
I love music. My favourite bands right now are Paramore, Jimmy Eat World and Motion City Soundtrack. I also have a terminal weakness for late-90’s pop-rock. (Third Eye Blind, Matchbox Twenty, Everclear). Additionally, I love country, jazz and non-annoying-pop.
I’ve grappled with my stutter for years and years.
My outlook about my stutter is to not let it slow me down. Has it prevented me from doing some things in life? Probably. Do I hate struggling with it every day? Yes. I hold onto the fact that God makes his glory known through our weaknesses. I also acknowledge that my stutter keeps me humble and I’m grateful for that.
As a kid, I watched early 90’s Saturday morning TV: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, Power Rangers. Nothing kids watch these days can compare. These days, I watch the following shows religiously: 24, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, and Chuck. This season, I’m also experimenting with Community and Trauma. Talk to me about all of these shows! I never watch anything else.
In recent years, a passion has been birthed in me to be a screenwriter:. I have developed 2 franchises for TV and a handful of treatments for screenplays. If you’re interested in hearing about them, leave a comment or e-mail me.
In October 2009, I went to a Toronto Roller Derby game and it’s my new favourite sport. I fell in love with a derby girl who called herself Audrey Hellbourne.
I didn’t get to meet her. Sigh.
I have a cartoon crush on Kim Possible and Misty from Pokemon. Orange cartoon hair: Gets me ever time. I also have a real crush on a read girl with real red hair. That worked out and now we’re dating. She lives in Vancouver. Sigh.
I play guitar and bass with confidence. I play piano with zero confidence.
I like Tim Hortons.
I think I’m a decent enough guy.
I enjoy good beer.
I’m Canadian.
Um … Please read my blog.
