A songwriter, producer, bass player, and guitar player behind A B See Productions Inc.
In the 1980s and 1990s, he composed and performed instrumental music for broadcast shows and commercials, playing all the instruments on those tracks.
Earlier in his career, he played in cover bands and show bands, and performed as lead guitarist for Chuck Berry.
After years away from songwriting, he has recently returned to creating original music.
This time, his focus is on songs written with lead vocals, storytelling, and artist identity in mind.
His songs are strongly influenced by bass and guitar, with those instruments shaping the feel, rhythm, and structure of the music.

Influences
My musical influences come from a wide range of music from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, including rock and roll, country, pop, folk, blues, and roots music.
As a bass player and guitarist, my writing is strongly shaped by rhythm, groove, chord movement, and guitar-based arrangements.
I was also influenced by musicians I had the opportunity to play with, including Mike O’Reilly, a Grammy Award-winning bluegrass singer-songwriter, and Les Emmerson, singer-songwriter best known for “Signs” with the Five Man Electrical Band.
Those experiences helped shape my approach to songwriting, performance, and arranging music with strong instrumental foundations.
