About Me

I'm working with a whole gang of talented peeps at the moment, making pretty varied stuff. I come from a "live" background - jazz, funk, and world contexts. I'm now all about bringing live feel to forward-looking productions. Check www.kindselekta.com for current pre-releases. These releases also available through ITunes, EMusic, Amazon and Napster. Also check dorightdigital.com for the new Blacktop collab.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
