Born and raised in Australia and married to Québec, he is the modern version of a medieval troubadour or minnesinger, those roaming musicians who composed music and poems denouncing the hypocrisy and praising the beauty of their times: Those wandering minstrels who travelled from place to place blending ideas and emotions into songs and melodies that enlightened and entertained the people who heard them.

Like them, J.D. Sage plays his own music, sings his own words, usually...

Like them, he knows about borders and has travelled far in his search for forms of truth on high mountains, windy beaches, awesome coastlines, angry seas and strange lands.

Fascinated by psycho-acoustics, strings and campanology (the study of bells), he has combined these interests with his love of music and the oceans to create soothing and evocative lyrics and sounds. He has played many great bells around the world: The Great bell at Mingun, Burma (Myannmar); the Great bell at Kamakura, Japan; the big Hemmony bell in the Old Church of Amsterdam, Netherlands; and the Great bell in Havana Cathedral, Cuba.

The Song "Guantanamo Bay" attempts to speak for those who can't. "Warrior" was inspired by the words of the last survivor of an Native American Tribe who is said to have told and anthropologist: "White man smart but not wise." These Singles are from the "Guantanamo Bay" album - part of the "Americas Project."
