Funky Mike D. and Stratusfear

About Me

I grew up in Michigan and played near Chicago, moved to Colorado in 96' with the band, played for several years, life takes over and people move on, since then I played regionally, in Midnight Creep/Nawleans Funk,The Soul Revolution Band /R&B /Funk, The Jam band-RBM with the greatest drummer ever, Ben Nichalson, Ben realized his talents and moved to Hollywood( he is now signed to a touring band), and I have been working on a Solo CD to showcase my playing as well as forming the funk fusion/progressive rock project STRATUSFEAR.When I'm solo, I study Marcus Miller and Jaco Pastorius to get my chops up. I am currently playing in the progressive rock band 30 Silver, providing a killer groove to the technical style of these shredders, the cd will be out soon.
