About Me

This site was originally set up so the songs I writes in my basement could be heard by whoever wanted to hear them. I've been in a bunch of other bands (the mangs, the plastic fantastic lovers, the fancy claps, savatti and the grub, rabbit hole, Noisebox) and I just love art and people creating interesting things.
I'm an aspiring producer and I've worked with
Julia (of Kaliedascope City)
Hally
The Waterstiffs
Dr. Zaius
Strange Fruit
Members of The Weathermaking Challenge
Phil McAlister
Fusion
Narcoticized
Look! Centaurs
Sugarcraft
I've also recently done some scoring for a short film with Ilan Mann of TWC
If anyones looking to record some tracks FOR FREE, let me know.
