About Me



Myspace Editor
Pimp MySpace

Boston-area filmmaker to earn money, Boston-area singer to lose it.

For work I produce videos (mainly commercial) with my friend Shana. We're in the process of building our own company, SHAVE Media. (Note, many of the following videos were created for and are the property of TurnHere, Inc.)

..

I sing in a band called THE DAILY PRAVDA. Major influences are usually cited as Bowie and Suede, though to me we sound more like Jane's Addiction meets the Cars.

We just released a cover of Ziggy Stardust, available here .I've also been working on some solo recordings, which are taking a back seat as we do the Pravda record.

Ted, just admit it.

How late do you have to stay up just to see Jane's Addiction??? Screw this. I'm going to bed. The show will be on YouTube tomorrow morning, and that way I can skip the Arctic Monkeys.

GarageBand is better than Pro Tools.
