My definition of a Canadian Idol is:

The coolest kid in school, on a much greater degree.

Who is your Canadian Idol?

Matthew Good because he's an awesome song writer and musician.

Who in the Canadian Idol Top 11 did you identify with the most?

I don't know. I've still never seen the show.

Personality and confidence.

Getting lost in Toronto. I forget things easily like where I am at this exact moment.

If you don't make it on Canadian Idol, what will you do?

I think I'll just keep working and writing music. Nothing much will change.

How would your life change if you were to become Canadian Idol?

I'm sure less people would swerve to hit puddles on the side of the road as I walked on the sidewalks. Probably the only thing that would change would be the amount of time I put into it.
