About Me

i host an open mic night @ the sky box bar in clairemont wednesdays 8:30pm , so come out, bring your acoustics and play some tunes for my neighbors
BEER & CIGS @ OPEN MIC - VIDEO
SHADOW THE WONDER KITTY - VIDEO
i am the front man for a indie / electro band called starcrossed , but i also play acoustic music with a sampler pedal at open mic nights and when or where ever else i can.
i also run a audio / video production company called haemmerle productions does your band need a demo, music video filmed @ edited or want a live performance filmed & put on the internet. contact us, its free until the company takes off.
raw and uncorked was recorded around easter weekend in the garage. some songs are remnants of ideas i had for starcrossed, other songs i had been playing at open mic for a while and some are new songs.all are ruff takes and even though the vocals are off key and some guitar parts are sloppy i like the way a song feels when you record it for the first time mistakes and all, theres just something beautiful about it. that is why i called the album raw and uncorked. artwork is still being put together but for now enjoy the songs that i've posted here on myspace.
i got into recording with garage band in 4/08 and here are some of the songs i recorded with it.everyone always asks me how i got so passionate about music, well here it is, i was exposed to punk rock at an early age
