The Six-Pack Of Sound

About Me

I am a musician, producer, and songwriter living in Hollywood, CA. This page represents my own solo music only, which is influenced by all my favorite 60s and 70s artists (even though I actually grew up listening to 80s hair metal). I do not wear polyester suits and I enjoy sophomoric humor, drinking Budweiser, fishing and watching sports. I would much rather listen to Hannah Montana than My Morning Jacket. I have fun playing guitar in two of my favorite pop/punk bands, Nerf Herder and Pintsize...and I sometimes play bass for Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (Jellyfish / Beck) and Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big / Racer X). A few artists I've worked with in one way or another: Bowling For Soup, Charlatans UK, Gabriel Mann, Puffy Amiyumi, Kaela Kimura, Kim Fox, Laura Dawn, Lil' Kim, Margo Guryan, Mello Cads, Ol' Dirty Bastard, OPM, Parry Gripp, P. Hux, Rx Bandits, Size 14, Tim Burgess, Troup, Wisely, Cheap Trick, Jennifer Lopez, Kool Keith, Mis-teeq, Puff Daddy, Smashing Pumpkins, Kylee, Gush, Kiera Chaplin, Jennifer Love Hewitt, I Hate Kate and Shaun Escofferey. Apparently now I'm a name-dropper, too! For a full bio and discography, please check out www.linusofhollywood.com. Thanks for visiting my page!
