About Me


I've been having this love affair with music for a long time, but only started singing and songwriting in the last 15 years. I feel lucky to have been influenced and educated by some pretty good people along the way: Dwight Collin & The SuBtEcH Crew, Chris Van Cott & Other Natural Flavors, maRITZa, G-Lo, Joe Castellane, Michael Reola (film composer), Derek Sessions, Jochen Reiter @ Hollis Haus, Abe Duque @ Tension Records, Ryan Rhodes, Tricky, Frank Egan, Inner Sanctum, the Rancho Relaxo Crew, Patrick Pulsinger @ Cheap Records, Kruder & Dorfmeister, SIN, Disko B, Carlos & Gabriel Rodriguez, Brian "the Brain" Smith, Guido Osorio, Maria Loretta of the Sol y Sombra Dance Co, Nickodemus, Micro, Omar, Onionz, & all the other great djs who appeared on or contributed to the Heaven Radio Show 90.1FM-WUSB, Abuse Industries, The Funk Squad, etc... The list goes on and on. I will be uploading tracks from time to time until the release date of "the album".... on a sunny day in 2010.
"Miss Celie's Blues" and "Can't Get Out of This Mood"are JB Jazz live performances. &copy 2006
