About Me


...I'm a musician and have been for quite a few years. It all started when I was young & my Grandmother "of all people" gave me My first KISS album. I became hooked with the music. I started on the guitar & then eventually heard my calling to become a bassist....
I'm originally from Upstate New York. A little place called Utica. You may of heard of it, but I doubt it.. Went on to join the United States Army & After my enlistment I decided to stay around the Nashville area. I played many venues & shared the stage with many great musicians through my career. I've played with such bands as Shortwyck, Dark Realm, Tantrum, Fuse, Undisclosed, Hollowed Soul, Red40, & Deadsun. Now I'm with the band Beautifully Crude. I also lay alot of low end down for musicians & friends who need a bassist to make it happen.... Haha!!! So in closing I'm in this game until I receive that golden ticket to walk through the gates of a record contract....... Be sure to check out myspace.com/beautifullycrudemusic and have a look around... Thanx for taking the time to look over my profile. I'll be seeing ya!!!........
