Most people know me from my drumming career where I've performed, recorded, and toured with lots of different artists and bands. These days, people have also come to know me for my composing work in the worlds of film, television, and advertising.
My father was a jazz drummer, and my grandfather (on my mom's side) was a well known Latvian painter, so I sometimes think this journey into music and art was inevitable. I enjoy hitting drums, strumming guitars, writing songs, composing music, working with creative people, creating new sounds, buliding things, breaking things, fixing things, talking, learning, loving, living, eating, sleeping. Most of all, I enjoy being married to my best friend and being a proud parent.
I've licensed my music for the following movie trailers: 21, National Treasure: Book Of Secrets, No Country For Old Men, Hostel 2, Deja Vu, Zorro 2, Outlaw, XXX State of the Union, Domino, Catch a Fire, Behind Enemy Lines 2, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I've also licenesd music to television promos and advertising including The Closer, TNT, TAG Heuer, & Vogue.
In 2007, I scored my first feature film "Young Single, & Angry", and also did the music supervision. My online bio /discography is

Bright Orange Studios is my high end recording studio where I get to play drums for lots of different projects, and is also where I record and produce bands and artists. Many of the artists that I've recorded are signed to my record label, Bright Orange Records, which has some of the best new music around.
