Signed with manager Howard Leese in 1972. Signed with [l= Columbia Records of Canada, Ltd.] and released his first album "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" in May of 1973. Released his sophomore record, "One Night Lovers" in early 1976. After reissuing his first album that same year, Columbia cut him from their roster. He continued on the local area circuit for a few months, but eventually packed it in.
