About Me

My new album, "For Mature Audiences Only", released February 12, was recorded by Emmy-winner Jerome Maffeo in Baltimore and mixed by Grammy-winner Dan Gellert in LA. It's a pure concept album, and you can listen to the whole album at Virb or iTunes , CD Baby , read lyrics and linear notes at The Frozen Food Section , or buy a hardcopy from me with Paypal:
