Pip contributed to the ‘first wave’ of music activity on Queen Street West, Toronto and has lived extensively in Europe and Asia.
He’s currently living in Hamilton, Ontario, writing, recording, performing and selling original art-pop with world and jazz elements. Pip is also the sole proprietor of metroPhilmusic (est. 2008).
Pip is influenced by world rhythms and lute music. Every City is his 30th album.
Once, playing a tiny club in Seoul, Pip won over a cover-tune-demanding audience after a tipsy audience member had accidentally opened a bottle of beer all over Pip’s guitar neck (the self-serve beer fridge was directly behind the “stage”). The owner came up, apologized, and cleaned the guitar up with a towel with Pip continuing to play all the while.
