About Me

Creativity, visual & aural are the forces that drive me, and make life great. I love a good time, with friends and family. I've been addicted to rhythm as long as I can remember. For a long time I tried to put music on the back burner...I thought it might be too late. My old ass found out it's never too late. "Good old American Funk music is the greatest invention of the 20th Century!!!"I'm lucky enough to be a member of a fun, hardworkin' band called Urban Sun. The nine of us throw all of our musical experience into the pot...and out comes a hot stew of Rock, Funk, Soul, Pop, and sometimes a wee bit of Jazz. If you get a chance come check us out when you can.I'm in a great band called "Otis" led my bro Craig Schoenbaum. He is an amazing singer, with great songs and our band rocks!I'm also a member of a 20 piece jazz/new music big band called Pittsburgh Collective. We are led by a true musical genius named David Sanford. His music is out of this world.I'm a peaceful Taurus. I love all that feels good...and I have to keep a check on that. " A good party is better than a war any day, what's so hard about that."
