Geoff has released 5 albums to date. "Hi I’m Gail Steckler I met Geoff Doner quite by chance. He was sitting outside the ArtHouseTO location in Riverdale Toronto which I had walked by many times and was always intrigued by the art installations in the front window. "Now I had an opportunity to ask what the space was all about. Geoff explained. I took a deep breath and shared with him that I had written songs for many years but had no success in trying to collaborate partially due to the fact that I was not financially able to offer payment. Geoff offered to help me. I was beyond elated. "Once we began working together I could feel my creativity flowing again after being dormant for so long. As I speak, the production of the first song we’ve been working on is near completion and the collaboration has been beyond my expectations. It’s an incredible feeling to hear my song come to life. This is a dream come true for me especially at my age. "The ArtHouseTO location is such a positive cultural space and is SO needed in this community. It’s been such a joy working with Geoff and Andrea Battersby. Stay tuned for the release of my first single “Pedestal” which we will be releasing early 2024."
