He began singing as a child, first starting in the St Elijah Syrian Orthodox Church choir in Ottawa. As a student at Ottawa's Fisher Park High School he was part of a trio called the Bobby Soxers.

I Don't like to Sleep Alone
Recorded in Bb
(Capo on 3rd fret to play along with the song)
I play it in a different key - G (no capo)
Easier on my voice, and the guitar doesn't sound so tinny
Play with it and enjoy
[Intro]
G - D - Em - Am - C - D - G
[Verse 1]
G D Em Am C D G
I don't like to sleep alone, stay with me, don't go.
G D Em Am C D G
Talk with me for just a while, so much of you to get to know.
[Chorus]
C D G Em Am D G - G7
Reaching out, touching you, leaving all the worries far behind.
C D G Em Am D D7
Loving you, the way I do, my mouth on yours and yours on mine.
[Verse 2]
G D Em Am C D G
Marry me, or let me live with you, nothing's wrong when love is right.
G D Em Am C D G - G7
Like the man said in his song, help me make it through the night.
[Chorus]
C D G Em Am C D
Loneliness can get you down, when you get to thinking no one cares.
[Verse 3]
G D Em Am C D G
Lean on me, and I'll lean on you, together we will see it through.
G D Em Am C D G
Oh, I don' t like to sleep alone, sad to think some folks do.
G D Em Am C D ~ pause ~ G
No, I don't like to sleep alone, no one does, - - - do you?
G D Em Am C D ~ pause ~ G - C - G
I don't like to sleep alone, no one does, - - - do you?
