Aaron

I Currently reside in Los Angeles, by way of South America, Maryland, and Arizona. I am married (with no kids...yet) to the love of my life, and best friend Tara. I work as an independent record producer and engineer, recently taking on the job of engineer for the production team The Matrix (Avril Lavigne/Liz Fair/Korn/Britney Spears to name a few). I am the founder of THE DECADE a Los Angeles based record production team as well as guitarist and co-producer for Lo][REz an LA Based rock band formerly known as Prefontaine. In the miniscule amount of spare time I have, I enjoy reading, doing anything outdoors, snowboarding (yeah outdoors, I know it's redundant but I had to list it...), traveling and anything related to music.
Check out the track currently on my page "Good Mornin'". Music written and produced by me and James DiPaolo, featuring the vocal talents of Luke Boyd (aka The Sanger), written by Luke and myself. There are many more where that came from, and stay tuned for some new music from THE DECADE! myspace.com/thedecadeproductions.
