About Aidan

A storyteller for as long as he can remember, aidan uses the words he has learned and created to describe his identity and weaves them into stories about small towns, big cities, tender acts of love, violent acts of hate and rage. Pulling on the heartstrings of the young and the old, aidan takes pride in walking in the shoes of many great beings who’ve walked this path before him.

Described by some as, “one of the best young storytellers in Toronto right now,” aidan is flattered to be involved in such a thriving and outstanding community of artists. he recognizes that storytelling is more than just for children and is always amazed at its often therapeutic effects.
