Liam has been making music from a very young age. He started playing guitar at age 6, piano at age 7, and was singing in choirs even before that.

Liam has composed and performed a wide variety of music; including musical theatre, choir, classical, singer-songwriter, and jazz ensemble. In Spring 2024, Liam performed the roll of Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music with Abbotsford’s Gallery 7 Theatre. In Winter 2024, Liam composed music for and performed in a play adaptation of Prince Caspian, also with Gallery 7. Liam has taught private music lessons for over 5 years.
