Overnights & weekends

I've never been a fan of long, detailed biographies on a web site, so let's keep this simple.

Born and raised in Toronto, I grew up listening to Q107 in all its varied incarnations. No matter the school, no matter what fad my peers enjoyed, my music of choice has always been the greatest rock of all time. The heavier it sounded, the darker the subject matter, the better. It's no surprise that to my friends here at Q107, I'm what's politely called "a heavy metal enthusiast," otherwise known to the masses as a rivethead or headbanger. My favourite artists to this day remain bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Metallica and Motörhead. Don't let that fool you though, I love ALL the classics...blues, rock, soul and more.

Now I'm the Producer of The Kim Mitchell Show (weekdays 2 to 7), helping Q's Rock Icon get you home. I'm also the guy responsible for bringing you the latest news on your favourite classic rock artists on the Rock Report Blog. On top of that, I can often be heard Psychedelic Psunday Evenings following Andy Frost, finishing off the 12-hour trip. Tune in to hear the best of '65 to '75 as you're wrapping up the weekend!
