Rockin' Guitarist from Toronto

About Me

I'm a rock n'roll music junkie and listen to practically all styles of music. My passion is playing guitar. I am a guitar nut - love looking at them, love talking about them, and absolutely love playing them loud!!! Over the past 17 years I've played guitar in numerous bands and have done stints as a guitar teacher. My previous bands include: Chaosmongers, Lamp Shade Devils, The Electric DirtMonkeys, LIVEVIL, White Rabbit Cattle Prod, (the infamous) GTA and the DR.LANG band.I am now in PROJECT BLISS doing vocals and playing guitar. PROJECT BLISS members include Nathan Smardenka on bass (ex Shangrila) and TBD on drums (ex ???). We are a voracious power trio in the hard rock/heavy metal vein. CHECK OUT OUR TUNES @ www.myspace.com/projectblisstoronto. Or follow the link below. Cheers and rock on!!!I am thrilled to announce that I endorse Dot On Shaft guitars. Check out www.dotonshaft.com Quality instruments at great prices with excellent customer service.

My Interests

Songwriting, guitar playing, listening to music, painting (abstract and real life in acrylic mediums), clubbing, live shows/concerts, watching movies, hanging out, classic cars, driving fast, partying hard and gorgeous girls.

I'd like to meet:

I've met alot of cool people in my musical travels and through life's interesting twists and turns. I'd like to meet everyone! Drop me a line - say hello - don't be a stranger. Keep rockin'!!!!

Music:

All musical styles. Passion for hard rock and Heavy Metal. Everything from Mahogany Rush and Zeppelin straight through to System of a Down and Slayer. Favorite band: Black Sabbath ( I even like all the line-up changes ) Yes, even the Born Again album. Ian Gillan is really talented singer he was just a little out of place on that album. They should have called the band "Purple Sabbath" in that incarnation (haha).

Movies:

Kubrick fan: the Shining, Clockwork Orange, Eyes wide shut, Full Metal jacket. Eastwood fan: all the Dirty Harry flicks. Jacob's Ladder, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest etc.

Television:

TV really rots your brain. I only really watch the news and PBS. Although, I do like CSI, Law and Order and Alias. Other than that - I occassionally catch the odd Becker or Frasier re-run.

Books:

I've read more books than I can remember. Some of the more recent ones include: Electric Gypsy (the Jimi Hendrix Experience), Long Time Gone (David Crosby Biography), Shakey (Neil Young Biography), Down Thunder Road (Springsteen biography), According to the Rolling Stones, Walk this Way (Aerosmith biography), Motley Crue (the Dirt), too much to list.

Heroes:

Don't need any heroes - be your own God.
