About Me

Welcome to MY SPACE,my little corner of the worldwide web.Where right now,This hour,This minute,This second,it's all about ME.I'm not a big head.I'm very down to earth.I was born in the city of chicago,chi-town,the windy city,where old style is treated like budweiser(anyway). I was turned on to music at a young age,i was 5 in fact.Thanks to THE BEATLES & KISS, i was hooked.My uncles Tom,Rick,& Cat helped out that fire.They had a band called MIDNIGHT 12:01 & i thought the world of it.Growin' up thats all i really thought about.Music was in my bed,my food,my water,on my note books,on my school books...LOL.(hard core).THE BEATLES & KISS turned to JOURNEY,REO SPEEDWAGON,to MOTLEY CRUE,RATT,DOKKEN,CHEAP TRICK,THIN LIZZY,& at this time i was listeing to alot of stuff.At this point i am now in my teens & also bilding myself to all this rock music.I first started playin' drums at the age of 3 or 4.Then picked up guitar for a bit then bass goin' back & forth at this time i was in my 20's.My first recording was with a band called LONLEY SUNDAY (my god)...LOL,i had no clue,some might say i still don't...LOL.I had not a clue how to use my voice. (are tapes still out there) YES ! THANKS BRAIN !This band did not see the light of day.You learn as you go & you go,go,go.I did not want to be a cover band.I had something to offer i thought so i move on.SMASHING PUMPKINS & THE VERVE got under my skin by the time i started writing for my first solo cd "NEED TO LIVE BY WHAT YOU KNOW".This would be the first time i had recorded drums,guitars,bass,& sing all myself.It was a gas to hear the play back all me,no band. The cd only sold a hand full,yet you learn as you go,as like life.I got turned on to BUTCH WALKER & THE MARVELOUS 3 & that told me rock music was still alive & well,if they could do it,so can i.So i got in to a band called SOLOVUS playin' bass.I had fun with them played some big shows made a cd with them called history.By the time the cd was out i was in tune with a story of my own that i needed to get out & started to record "TOUCH".It got to a point that i was more in to what i was doin' more than the solovus thing,plus some things also goin' on with in the band lead me to get out & just go full speed on my touch epic.This cd made me who i am today.I have been thru alot in the last 3 years & been faced with some things that i withstood & made me a stronger man.This cd was a epic love story of sex,love,dout,fate,& felling alot of felling.We put alot of blood,sweat & tears in to touch & it was felt by people this time.Alot of bands say that BUT touch was real.& again we learn & learn somemore.Now we are up to date....Now with my hero BUTCH & my boyz from chi-town ALKALINE TIRO in mind,i am getting ready to record my next album at the end of may.This cd will somewhat be the remains of touch called "TATTOOS AND ROCK AND ROLL".The tunes i have up now are some songs from 2001 "NEED TO LIVE BY WHAT YOU KNOW"witch is way out of print & 2006 "TOUCH".No song from the new cd will be up till the cd is ready to be out.Top,top,quite.If you got to the end of this bullshit,you rule.I look forword to talkin' to all you.Stop in & comment,PLEASE.Thanks to all the rockin' rockers out there who make me feel like a rockstar.All who have touch thanks for givin' a damm.The next cd will have all kinds of thanks the next cd will be yours ! untill next time.........
