About Me

I grew up in Louisville KY where I started playing bass at 14. Moved to Nashville at 21 and spent ......a long time there. That's where I grew up musically. While in Nashville I played and toured with a whole bunch of people. Have now been in LA for 2 yrs (it has gone VERY fast) and am just workin my thang. Currently playing with The MVP's as my main gig, and also play whatever else I can get my hands on. Have just recently gotten my home studio the way I want it so I'm also playing sessions from home. Technology is a wonderful thing!!! MAKE SURE you check out Michael Elsner's record "Stained Voodoo". I played on all of the tunes but one and co-wrote 3. At the LA Music Awards, "Stained Voodoo" won 'Best New Instrumental Record'. Very cool I thought. Look for Stained Voodoo gigs in early '07. We're gonna have some fun!!!!!!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/9/2005
Influences: This is a completely open book.....As I don't believe that there is anyone that can't influence me.....even my son playing his trumpet while chasing the cat the other day......yes I got an idea or 2 from that.lol I have learned to truly listen to EVERYTHING.Obviously, I've been influenced by all the cats that we all know....and some that aren't so well known....like my son. Rather than get typers cramp and a brain cramp trying to remember everyone who's ever influenced me, I'd rather look for new influences.....suggestions are most welcome.
Sounds Like: Me playin' and you movin' to it.
