About Me


More songs!
I do session work for various rock, hip hop, and pop artists. Currently im playing with Candyman 187 (Tupac Shakur's brother) and recently signed act Detroit Mutant Radio under the production of 10 time grammy winner Rafa Sardina.
I am also working with some amazing local artists; Jade, Bobby W, Lindsay Sinay, Albert Khasky, Karuna and Myah! and comedian/singer Jeff D. I highly recommend you check out these very talented artists!
I play guitar in Day 8 fronted by the actor Tom Sizemore. We have an e.p. out produced by Mikey Doling (founder and member of one of the greatest bands ever; "Snot" and former Soulfly guitarist). I also played guitar and sang for Monkey Fist.
I've written music for Gene Simmons Family Jewels (thanks to peeps) and i'm writing music for the next season of Miami Ink and my music will be featured on the next season of "The Two Coreys" on A&E.
Proudly endorsed by: RKS Guitars, Fernandes Guitars, Carvin Amps & Guitars, Bogner Amps, Elixir Strings, InTune Guitar Picks and Affliction Clothing.
