Only a few months have past since Bill Withers' death, but his legacy lives on. Bill Withers has had a profound influence on me and I can't thank him enough for all he has taught me through his music. Here's my take on one of my favourites of his - Just The Two Of Us! This performance sources from my livestream with the Digital Creative Arts Centre in London, ON, Canada, back in June! Thanks, as always for watching!

For Canada Day, I decided to pay tribute to one of Canada's most beloved modern artists - Drake. Expect lots of range and an excessive amount of delay. Oh, and a brand new perspective on the original arrangement. Shout out to Josh Ellison of Jellifish Beats for the video and audio treatment! Find Me: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2sHjF...

Love Language is an embellished true story about my finding a new romantic spark in an old relationship with a friend who finds herself back in my neck of the woods. In an attempt to avoid fumbling my way through our first date, I wanted to learn about her love languages first so that I could show her love in ways that translated best to her. What happens next? Listen to the lyrics to find out. This is the Justin Maki Band's live off the floor "acoustic" version of Love Language, which came out Feb 14th, 2020 on streaming platforms everywhere. We had a blast making this and certainly hope you have a blast watching it. Like, subscribe, hit that bell, and share, please and thanks! More content to come!
