Advertorially toned WP:BLP, based entirely on primary and unreliable sources with no evidence of any reliable source coverage in real media, of a musician with no strong claim to notability per WP:NMUSIC. As always, Wikipedia is not a free PR platform on which every musician automatically gets an article just because he exists -- real media coverage, supporting a proper claim of notability, must be present for him to earn an article. But nothing written or sourced here clears the bar -- and even if better sourcing and a stronger claim of notability can be shown, the article would still have to be rather substantially rewritten for WP:NPOV compliance. First version was about the same person, but was completely different (it tried and failed to stake his notability on WP:AUTHOR for a book, with his musical output relegated to an afterthought rather than the crux as it is here), so I don't consider it immediately speediable as a recreation of deleted content, but it's still not a keepable article in its current form.

 * Delete this apparent self-promotion for a young man attempting to start a music career. I ran a news google search, and while I did find a gig listed in a small club in Ottawa, it was a lone listing, a listing does not support notability, and there is little or nothing that does.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:30, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom and last AfD. Article does not meet NMUSIC or GNG. Ajraddatz (talk) 06:38, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
