Keyboard, Bass Guitar, Rhythm Guitar.ABOUT
Hey Ya'll, Thanks for coming to have a peak at my page.. I hope that if you see or hear something that you like that you'll leave me a message. even if you see something you don't like, what the heck all feedback is good right? So , Yeh! I'm going to give it my all to make something of myself in this industry. A hard one to make it in, especially now that I'm creeping on in age... I've only got one life so here goes....
I started playing the Piano at a young age and still play although I never did take it very seriously. The guitar is my main instrument playing since I was nine years old. I picked up the bass in highschool as band didn't offer something for acoustic guitar... I quit playing for a number of years and a few years ago locked myself away with my guitar and realized that there is a beast which needs to be unleashed... HAHA!! I carry my guitar everywhere with me. I have played a couple open mic nights as a solo act and nothing more than that oh! Church growing up! I'm in the middle of recording an EP between my place and Woodshop Recording Studio. I'm sending my music all over the world.

Influences
I've grew up with a father as a profesional Jazz musician who played the styles of Bill Evans, chick Corea, Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock,and Keith Jarret. I've been told by people that it deffintely rubbed off on me. I do like to listen to that stuff but do prefer artist such as John Mayer, David Grey, Santana, Dave Mathews and Eric Clapton.
EQUIPMENT
My baby is an all Mahogany Martin D-15. Such a warm sound and so unique to record with. It's a six-string acoustic.
I also muck around with my Epiphone Les Paul, it's a fun guitar for laying rythymn beds
A five string Samick bass
A beautiful Nylon Fender - Fantastic for soft Jazz voicings.
I have a home studio, I run Pro tools 8.0.

I Still Dream
I Still Dream Track number: 2 Year: 2010 Album: I Still Dream Genre: Country
This is a personal song, about a really great girl, in the end turned out differently but you know how it goes.. We sometimes like being hurt as human beings, sometimes it's the only feeling that we are truly aware of and understand, so it rings as an uncomfortable comfort.
