About Me

I'm a musician and audio freak. I write music, perform, make beats, and specialize in location sound and music recording. As much as I love what technology has to offer to artists these days, we're up against a media and industry machine that has become almost impenetrable. So trying to make it as an independent musician is not exactly easy. But it hasn't kept me from trying. Anyway, music is what I love. I play guitar with a soulful Latin Hip Hop band called Bayonics from San Francisco. Check out our my space page: www.myspace.com/bayonics

I'm really into old school funk and soul, especially Parliament/Funkadelic, James Brown, and Sly and the Family Stone, who are all huge influences. I listen to all types of music, rap and hip hop, classic rock, Latin music, jazz, the list goes on. But for some reason funk and soul are what really hit the spot for me.
I spend a lot of time dreaming about a new progressive, creative explosion, so I try and stay involved in one way or another.
