Born in 75 in Venice Beach, Ca within a family of musicians and mellow hippie surroundings I started playing drums, piano and guitar at the age of 5 with a blessed ability of playing by ear "I mean playing not fiddle faddle" with myriad of styles and influences from anything challenging as time passed. My music mentors were my 'Bloody Dad', John Lennon, Bach, Sting and Miles Davis. Lending a humble learning opportunity I polished improvisational and traditional skills that helped throughout the years with more music mentors in LA Jordan High Marching/Orchestra/Jazz band and All City Honor Marching Band in the Rose Parade till '93'. Then living in Irvine Arturo Nevarez, Tizoc Carasco, Jose Garcia and I started "Mas O Menos" a Spanish Rock/Alternative band for a talent show in UC Irivine during "special session's" in 98/99. We grew with a unique refreshing sound and played in well known bars/venues in Hollywood and TJ, some still open and others closed but very honored and grateful to play in all, with some of the coolest bands in and out of LA for about 5 or so years. Sad to say we had a Beatle ordeal and priority in each of our lives and left what we created together as friends. Humbled by an abussive relationship I expressed my depression by experience. My diligent studious Love of Musicology stained me to a set minded effect to pursue a masters degree in Music Therapy as a means of healing due to my "diagnonsense" of depression (Booh f=(kn Hooh). "Thank's to my Therapist Raul B from Chingaso Records." I've learned to use my ability as an outlet. There is always two sides to every story but one spiritual ethical value. This is my Iso-Principle. .
