About Me

My passion in life is for quality music of all types, especially dance music and electronica. I found my niche in electronic music in 2000. But my love for music really began at a very early age. I have played a wide variety of instruments including the Piano, Trombone, Baritone, and Clarinet. My tastes in electronic music range broadly from house to trance and breaks. Over the past 8 years, I have played alongside John O'Flemming, Dave Ralph, Christopher Lawrence, Max Graham, and Markus Schulz. Thanks to my prior service in the military, I have lived and had the opportunity to play in the Carolina's and upstate New York. I am currently residing in the Seattle area, and I have had the pleasure of playing at LSC, Heavens, Trinity, and Contour. Some of Seattle's biggest clubs. I'd say my passion for music and love for the scene is best demonstrated when I am behind the decks.I am now focusing my attention more towards the production side of things. What started an occasional interest has become more of driving force in my life. I finally feel comfortable enough with the various programs, Abelton, Reason, and Fruityloops, to make music and post it for your listening pleasure. Feedback is welcome by all.

Sounds Like: All sorts of electronic music. I love trance and proggy house music. But its impossible to simply limit myself to that sound only. My ideas include styles ranging from downtempo, trip-hopish to bass thumping tribal and techno. Its all about what sounds best at the time I make it. I simply want to display my mood with what I produce, as I do when mixing other people's songs. My favorite sound has to be plush chords using pads and appegiators to weave fluid proggy trance sounds, much like what Markus Schulz has on his Coldharbor cd's.
Record Label: Not quite at that point yet. :)

Is it odd, I sit here on my brother's couch, wondering if writing something about nothing is anything but something.  Can't possibly fathom how nonessential thoughts coalesced into cohesive metac...
