Colin was born and raised in the small town of Midland, Ontario.  His father played him music as an infant which sparked his interest in music.  He learned to play the piano at age 5 with his grandmother and uncle.  Soon after learning to play piano, he was given his first guitar. 

      As a child, he and his family moved frequently.  However, his roots always stayed planted in music.  At age 12, he left the care of his mother and biked the long trek from Kirkfield to his grandparent’s in Midland.

     Growing p his musical influence centered on Blink 182.  In grade 9, he formed his first band called Stealing July. They were a pop-punk band lasting two years.  Several years later another band was formed, Scapegoat.  Unfortunately, due to differences in their lives, the band fell apart after a few years.  Three years later the band Hollow Point   was created.  In two years the band played 50 shows all across Ontario.  They recorded a full length album and toured it across Ontario.  Hollow Point met its end after a short period of three years.

      In between bands, Colin and two others formed a concert hosting and promotion company called HH Records.  The company worked with bands such as Ill Scarlett, Shotgun Rules, Bloodshot Eye, Threat Signal, Saint Alvia, and Sawmill Valley.  HH Records ran for a total of three years before Colin asked to be bought out. 

     Today, he now creates music not only for himself, but for other artists as well.  He extends his reach to many genres including rap, rock, metal, and electronic.  He has steered away from the band scene and is now a solo musician – CPLUS2.

     He has always had an interest in electronic music.   It didn’t take him long to realize the avenue he wanted to be on and begin making his own music.  He is now creating different forms of electronic music from traditional techno to big house.
