About Me

I've been a bass fanatic ever since I heard my first James Brown record in junior high....I've had the opportunity to play with a wide variety of different acts in the Boston area, including Coloring Tunes (Nominee; Pulse Magazine’s “America’s Best Unsigned Bands), Fat Bag (Winner of Boston Music Awards Best Local Hip Hop Act), and popular new school funk band Sugarcoat.I play with a few cool function and cover bands, also I've been doing some pickup duo or trio work lately at Fanneuil Hall, some south shore clubs and the Cape
