I made my bones in many local bands such as Eric Von Zipper and The Flies, The Mello-Kings, The Cordials, Moonlite, Danz, The Pills, Almost Human and my most recent and most bittersweet, The Bam Bam Project.
I have had the pleasure of working with many great musicians over the years, such as bassist Huey "Huge" MacDonald (Bon Jovi), keyboardist Rob Sabino(Bryan Adams, David Bowie, Dianna Ross, Paul Simon, Madonna, Mick Jagger, etc, etc, etc,), guitarist Ralph Perucci (The Paul Reed Smith Band), my good friend, Producer/Engineer/drummer Vito Liuzzi (Johnny Winter), guitarist Andy Aledort(editor of Guitar World Magazine, Dickie Betts Band), Bassist John Stoltz(The Allman Brothers, Dickie Betts Band), and one of the best Sax and Horn players I've never met! Dan Cipriano (Springsteen, Allman Brothers, ihorns.com).
My childhood best friend, co-writer, mentor, drum teacher Thomas Parisi was my inspiration for drumming, writing and continuing to create music. Together we became published songwriters, signing with DSM Producers and Warner Chappell. Our first success was having the song "Down and Dirty" placed into the movie "Into The Arms Of Danger", starring the lovely actress Morgan Fairchild. Sadly, Thom was taken from me and all of us in 2000. I miss him everyday and every time I begin to write a song, I think of him in some way. It was because of his passing The Bam Bam Project was formed. We released two CD's as our tribute to Thom.
I continue to write songs in different genres such as Country, Funk, Blues, Pop, Rock and R&B. Whatever strikes me at the moment, whatever is in my heart, is what will be the deciding factor. Currently, I’m co-writing with good friend, talented vocalist, guitarist and songwriter KEVIN GALLARELLO. So as we proceed into 2007 and beyond, we're planning on writing as many great songs as possible. World domination is not completely out of the question!
Yeah right!
I'm very happy to have found producer Gary Carter from Nashville, TN He's a wonderful fellow and has an incredible ear. I'm especially grateful to have Jeff Carson, Mike Lusk and Darryl O'Donnell doing the lead vocals on the tunes I send to Gary. I just couldn't ask for more talented vocalists. PLEASE VISIT JEFF CARSON'S PAGE and listen to his new single, you'll dig it!
