About Me

myprofilestuff.com/layouts
About me... well im an avid joker. occasionally quirky. always demented and casually insane. I have been playing music professionally for about 11 years. I am currently playing bass for Tejano Artist JIMMY GONZALEZ Y MAZZ. What you hear here on this page is my current project. I will be forming a Spanish Rock band once my album is completed. We will be based out of Kingsville for the first year or so before making the move to Austin to broaden our audience. I have been fortunate to have 3 of my songs picked up by major producers for use on albums for Artists under the UNIVISION label and helped in 1 that came out in a movie titled The Neighborhood starring Frost.
