a lyricist. Every song we've done together, he's made better.
One of Canada's finest!"

'Love The Child In Me', and love that bridge transition to man.
I look forward to more music from Optikz!”
TINA ROBERTSON
"I've been listening to Optikz since him and I were both in high school. His music is catchy, uplifting and has made me cry. I'm lucky enough to know him as a person and as an artist. He writes all his own music and if you’re not already listening to him, you’re missing out."
STEVE STODDART

"Your music should have way more credit!! I love how you change your style up, unique to each track but still keep true to you! Also, being able to relate to a lot of your music as a person who has also dealt with addiction and mental health I find it extremely relatable, powerful & inspiring!! BLESS UP"
