Forest crafts a unique combination of fingerstyle, tapping and percussive playing that is all his own. Drawing from various influences like Michael Hedges, Andy Mckee, Antoine Dufour, Scale The Summit, Led Zeppelin, Chon, and Covet, each song is a musical journey that further shows what two hands and a guitar can accomplish. He underscores these sonic adventures with an exciting, welcoming and humorous stage presence that exudes every ounce of passion he has for his craft. Although initially enamored by classic rock and heavy metal in his teenage years, his curiosity led to a focus on solo acoustic guitar in 2015. Upon discovering the nuances that a steel string acoustic guitar can create, he quickly found the home for his compositions. These joyful and adventurous music experiments have led him to performing both nationally and internationally, from California to North Carolina, All across Canada and even to Australia. The year 2018 saw the debut release of Forest's debut instrumental album, "Let The Clouds Pass." The years 2018-2019 had Forest Zigzagging across the USA in a fully independent national tour, over 40 concerts in 26 states, 70,000 miles in a station wagon loaded with his guitars and a dream. 2023 was the year of doing the "Nashville thing". While he never acquired cowboy boots, he further cut his teeth on all genres from Rock, Country and Pop, performing hundreds of popular songs and running across bar tops. Ultimately, it was not the true path of this original artist and he relocated back home to the west coast USA where he could continue exploring his own musical style. In 2025, Forest was invited to open a sold out 26 date run of coast to coast tour of Canada with guitar legend Alex Misko. Forest has been invited to perform with other fingerstyle acoustic musicians such as Adrian Bellue, Christie Lenee, Van Larkins, Mark Kroos, Kat Gruvs and Janet Noguera. His songs "Midnight Picnic" and "Daybreak" have been featured on the Candyrat Records youtube channel
