About Me

I started playing the piano at 5. I played until 5th grade when I switched to trumpet. I continued with that until Junior year of high school when I joined the choir, which I stayed in until graduation. After graduation, I started writing music, doing vocals, playing piano and percussion with my cousin Aristotle Anonymous playing guitar, percussion and vocals. We continued working together primarily as a duo for the next 6 years. My brother ,Slim Waste, joined us playing keyboards bass, guitar, vocals and percussion. We continued on as a trio for the next 2 or 3 years. We started doing more solo stuff after that, occasionally working on a song or two with one or the other. In 1992 I got pneumonia and found out I had a major medical condition. I spent the next 2 years working only on solo projects, until I couldn't handle doing it anymore, because of health problems. In late 2003, I started transferring the audio tapes I had from then into the computer. On January 1 of 2003 I put my music on the Amazon.com Free Download Network. (they changed their policy and removed not only my songs, but hundreds of other artist's music the bastards) I decided that since I'm still here after all these years, I should get back to my music. I have started working on new music, as well as re-working some of my older stuff. The only places I've performed were open mic nights between poets and performance artists at a Jazz club, open mic nights and AIDS benefit shows between drag queens and male strippers. Oddly enough, you get the same kind of crowd. (not thrilled that you're performing) My song Lovers Games has been chosen to be included in the soundtrack for the upcoming Rick Rose film Amen. Amen is a dark comedy about qa week in the life of an overpriveledged guy who has to go to work for his father. He examines his life and what he's going to do with it. Over on Garage Band, 2 of the songs I have won there have won awards. Search Engine has won 6: Track of the Day on 12Sep2005 in Industrial Best Programming in Industrial, week of 19Sep2005 Best Mood in Industrial, week of 19Sep2005 Best Mood in Industrial, week of 26Sep2005 Most Original in Industrial, week of 19Sep2005 Best Dance Track overall, week of 19Sep2005 Best Dance Track in Industrial, week of 19Sep2005 Running out of time has won 1 and has gone into the 2nd round of their comptetion: Track of the Day on 1Oct2005 in Indie RockI have more music available on:www.numberonemusic.com/agenepunckbowee/ http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?s..272446&T=3270www .purevolume.com/agenepunckbowee
