About Me

Professional: I am a recording and touring guitar player located in Miami, Fl with a background in Jazz and Classical music. I am currently the musical director and guitar player for AliCastro (Sony). I also play guitar for Pepe Alva, and Jeremias (Universal. I love to play many different styles from Rock to Bluegrass. I also like to make Electronic Music........Personal: Guitarist-MDirector-watergun enthusiast-international man of leisure...or is that mystery? Laid back when not being obsessive and neurotic. Known to speak in Poodie-tang at inappropriate moments. Live vicariously through characters I create in my head. I like to feel that I'm always growing personally, spiritually and musically and I like to be around creative people that are not full of themselves. I used to say that I smoke way to many cigarettes but I recently quit....but don't judge me if you sneeking 1 now and again. I'm a closet lover of easy listening hits. Who can honestly say that Neil Diamond just doesn't fucking ROCK! One of my deep loves in life is linguini and white clam sauce covered in romano cheese. I like wearing black. Not becuase I'm goth but because black is slimming (Clam Sauce..remember?). I've got an eyebrow ring and I have no idea why. I'm a compulsive self-googler. When I was 12-13 I used to read Harold Robbins novels. ???? I'm a yellow belt in combat Karate so don't fuck with me. I mean....Please don't fuck with me. .esrever ni etriw ot ekil sleef ti tahw si sihT. When I was young I used to be very competetive as a guitar player...then I matured as a musician and realised that it's about self expression and it's not a competition, only to mature again to realize that it is in fact a competition. I love watching suspensful horror movies but I'm not in to gore. More like a well told story that scares the crap out of me. I'm out of self reaveling things to say for the moment except that

Conclusions from this weeks Hip Hop Convention on S. Beach

Having gold rings, earings, sunglasses, AND teeth.....is a bit overkill, and not all that attractive. Having a car with rims that don't move while you drive.......confuses my sense of ...

Just a few random curmudgeonly thoughts about things I've seen on myspace. The very fact that I'm writing this is a testament to how I like to misspend my time.   Any profile that claims "too hot...
