About Colin
Colin has been a performing and recording upright and electric bassist for over 8 years and holds a BMus in Jazz Performance and Composition from Capilano University. Hailing from Vancouver and now residing in Montreal, Colin has been a popular accompanist for musicians of all styles, specializing in jazz, R&B, pop, rock, country, and folk. Colin is highly regarded for his collaborative spirit and creative contributions. Apart from his work as an accompanist, Colin also performs as bandleader and composes for jazz ensembles. In recent years, I’ve had the pleasure of performing alongside many of Canada’s great jazz musicians including Bill Coon, Brad Turner, Caity Gyorgy, Jennifer Scott, John Lee, Miles Black and Oliver Gannon. In 2023, I completed a Canadian tour performing with both the Matt Franceschini Trio and JUB!, with notable performances at Frankie’s Jazz Club in Vancouver BC, Hirut Cafe in Toronto ON, and the Rod & Gun in Parksville BC. Later the same year, my group MTN HWY (Mountain Highway) released their debut EP “Through the Trees” which features one composition by each member of the group, including my own work “Death to a Star”.

Perfect! Colin has a deep knowledge of the instrument and teaches from a place of experience. His insights are illuminating and he always knows the perfect way to approach a challenge. He is a very generous teacher that responds very quickly to requests. Thank you Colin!
- Alexandre is a talented musician, an attentive student, and is always clear and timely in his correspondence. It is a pleasure to work with him.Colin's response :
Perfect! Colin has been an excellent tutor for my daughter. He is gentle in his approach and creates a positive, encouraging environment for learning. Despite the limitations of online lessons, my daughter finds his teaching both effective and engaging. What stands out most is Colin’s flexibility—not only with scheduling but also in how he adapts his teaching style based on her feedback and learning preferences. We’re very happy to have found him through Superprof!
- I can already tell that Jessica has a good ear for music and will do well with the double bass. I look forward to continuing our preparation for her school orchestra.Colin's response :

Colin is a truly wonderful bass teacher. I'm lucky to know him as a teacher, a colleague, and a friend. He is very patient, clear in his instructions, and has a deep knowledge of his instrument that he his passionate to share. Being around him has opened my ears to many things, especially when it comes to jazz, folk, and classical music. Thank you for everything Colin!
Colin is a phenomenal musician and a great guy. I have played hundreds of gigs with him and I cannot recommend him enough. Kind, knowledgeable and professional, Colin has these qualities and more in spades.
Colin is an amazing and knowledgeable teacher! He is so good at analyzing music and helping me recognize quotes and to incorporate them in my solos. He is patient and encouraging! Highly recommend.
