My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/2/2007
Band Members: I have played with all sorts musicians and that experience has greatly contributed to who I am as a musician. To name a few in no particular order: Mike Effenberger, Phil Kester, John Davis, Guy Licata, Lars Horntveth, Dave Bernett, Amire ziV, Stu Brooks, Jordan Mclean, Tim Lefebvre, Jeremy Wilms, Adam Holtzman, Jeremy Turner, Kevin Smith, Mike Kammers, Seth Olinsky as well as many many many many many many more. . . and more to be added.
Influences: I started playing music because I wanted to create music that I like listening too. That fuels everything. I don't feel like making a list because it would be too long. But there is one common element to all music that has influenced me. That element is that it has challenged me to think how it was created. Whether its a sound, harmony, emotion, vibe, technical ability, or melody. If has compelled me to wonder how it was conceived.
Sounds Like: Keep checking this site for gig updates. Also I'll be posting music I'm working on that is not affiliated with any of the bands or projects that I'm in.
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None
