He also performed at the VIVO X El ROCK festival in Peru with Slipknot, The Strokes and Bullet for My Valentine and toured with Marylin Manson. Both of his parents served in the Canadian Armed Forces, and after his mother’s passing in 2003, he decided to study dance full-time, later graduating from the School of Toronto Dance Theatre.

In 2015, he worked alongside Cindy Lauper in the Tony Award-Winning musical Kinky Boots in Toronto. In 2020, before the global pandemic, he was set to debut the world premiere French adaptation of it in Montreal with Serge Postigo and Just for Laughs Productions. Singer/Songwriter David Houle was also the lead character for two productions of Cirque Du Soleil and a dancer for the Canadian Opera Company. He is also the choreographer for Billboard charting artist Dion Todd.
