He has also studied with  internationally renowned guitarist and composer Roddy Elias, Robert Cram of the National Arts Centre orchestra, Juno award winner Jesse Stewart, Humber Colleges’ Jeff King and Ottawa local sax guru Mike Tremblay. He has also received instruction through music workshops from masters such as Toronto Philharmonic’s Christopher Lee, Jane Bunnett, Jazz legend Dave Liebman and Flute-boxer Greg Patillo. He has performed in Ottawa's Jazzfest, Festival Franco-Ontarien and London, Ontario's internationally renown Sunfest.

OUR STORY
Artists Jamelie Hassan and Ron Benner and jazz musician Eric Stach founded the Embassy Cultural House (1983-1990) located in the restaurant portion of the Embassy Hotel at 732 Dundas Street in East London. Other former members of the board were: Debrann Eastabrook, Henry Eastabrook, Sharron Forrest, Wyn Geleynse, Janice Gurney, Jean Hay (1929 - 2008), Doug Mitchell, Kim Moodie, Gerard Pas, Peter Rist, Wanda Sawicki, Jean Spence and Jennie White. In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Embassy Cultural House was re-envisioned as a virtual artist-run space and website. 

This project is supported by the Ontario Arts Council and the London Arts Council through the City of London's Community Arts Investment Program.
