Progressive rock six string bass slinger

About Me


It all started when my sister moved out....
I got to turn her then vacant room into a studio. It wasn't very high tech, but it was a place to record and store my instruments. That, and how many kids do you know who has two rooms?
I got a six string bass because of my idol, John Myung (who plays a six string). I practiced and practiced, and eventually, I began to write some music. I wrote it, consequently, all on the six string bass...ah, the memories...
So that's how it started. I wrote songs and recorded them playing ALL the instruments and singing the lyrics. Yeah...so fast forward to today, I'm still making music, only this time I've teamed up with a musical genius, Tim Lingley, for a lot of material and song ideas. He hasn't really joined the band (if you call what I do a "band"), but he's well on his way, earning a special place in my heart.
I feel my music has matured since I started 2 years ago...lets hope I still do.
Oh, and by the way...if you listen to any of my songs, it's NOT a guitar, it's a freakin' bass. YES, I can play it high to make it SOUND like a guitar, yo. Peace out.

Hey Everyone, I don't really know why it took me so long to put this up here, but be sure to check out my other sites (watcher) www.soundclick.com/watcher and (Polarkinetics) www.soundclick.com/polarkinetics. Polarkinetics is my electronica group, and sadly, it doesn't have a myspace. Enjoy!
4/12/07 NEW BAND:
Watcher has *officially* teamed up with musical guitar man extraordinaire TIM LINGLEY to form the band Twinjet Inversion!! The Watcher Project is on a huge and major hold up right now. I have a concept album in the works at the moment, and I really want to finish it. However, once it's done, I can't really see myself writing any more music for Watcher as my creative energies will be channeled toward Twinjet Inversion. Check us out at http://www.myspace.com/twinjetinversion , or click the link down at my "friends" section. ENJOY OUR MUSIC!!
