About Me

I WAS BORN IN NEW YORK CITY,STARTED PLAYING DRUMS AT 7 YEARS OLD. I PICKED UP THE GUITAR IN HIGH SCHOOL. I RECEIVED A BACHELOR DEGREE IN MUSIC COMPOSITION FROM QUEENS COLLEGE. ALL THE WHILE I WAS PLAYING IN BANDS FROM THE TRI STATE AREA. IT WAS AT THIS TIME I RECEIVED ENDORSEMENT CONTRACTS WITH SOME OF THE BIGGEST MUSIC MANUFACTURERS IN THE INDUSTRY.THESE INCLUDED,FENDER,PEAVEY,ROCKTRON,AND HARTKE,GHS,AND GEORGE L'S. WITH THE SUPPORT FROM THESE GREAT COMPANIES I WAS ASKED TO DO CLINIC TOURS NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. WHEN MY FIRST CD CAME OUT,I WAS APPROACHED BY A MANHATTEN PUBLISHING COMPANY TO COMPOSE MUSIC FOR NETWORK TELEVISION. THESE SHOWS INCLUDE NFL FOOTBALL,MTV,VH1,JERRY SPRINGER,HBO,TO NAME A FEW. I AM WORKING ON MY NEW CD WHICH SHOULD BE RELEASED IN THE WINTER OF 2008. EVER SINCE THE GUITAR PLAYER WRITEUP IN THE APRIL 2008 ISSUE AND ADS GUITAR PLAYER HELPED ME WITH,(AUG.SEPT.OCT.2008),THINGS HAVE BEEN HEATING UP QUITE A BIT. I WILL POST MY GIGS WITH MY OWN BAND AS THEY COME UP. ALSO,LOOK OUT FOR THE NEW "BERT ELLIOTS SCHOOL OF ROCK MUSIC". I WILL BE USING MY NAME AND EXPERIENCE TO MAKE THIS SCHOOL THE NUMBER ONE ROCK SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY AND ABROAD....... .. ..
