He immigrated with his father John D'Eathe[2] and mother Vanessa Tancock (née Stelle-Perkins) to Canada in 1968 and was naturalized as a Canadian citizen in 1972.
After articling at Swinton & Company and being called to the bar in 1990, D'Eith worked as in-house counsel for his father at Freehold Developments.
In the late 1990s, he worked briefly for Sanguinetti, Braidwood Law in Squamish BC and then as counsel at Bardel Animation.
[3] D'Eith was the chair of the 2009 Vancouver JUNO Awards host committee and developed the very successful $5.2 million Peak Performance Project with the Pattison Broadcast Group.
Once he returned to Vancouver, he joined a band called The Watchmen with lead singer Jimmy Gilmore (subsequently a member of the Silencers in Scotland) and Rob Lulic (guitar).
The band recorded its first album Peel (1992 mixed by Bill Buckingham) and had a number of successful radio and MuchMusic videos.
After touring Canada a number of times, D'Eith was forced to choose between a career on the road or a life on the business side of music.
It was originally an attempt to write music which would be suitable for film and television and showcase D'Eith and Schmidt's composing ability.
Canadian success and a trip to MIDEM in France led to a deal with Bay Area indie label XDOT25 which released the EP in the USA.
Mehdi Amadi from XDOT 25 was working on a deal with Higher Octave, a Malibu California New Age label that agreed to pick up Mythos.
Mythos became a big seller for Higher Octave who went on to release the follow-up albums Reality of a Dreamer (2000) and Eternity (2002).
