I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee

About Me

Im a guitarist first and foremost, but Ive developed an interest in acting too. Just recently, I was "lucky" enough to be cast as a featured Zombie in Southern Undead, an upcomming independent film set in Mebane NC with an anti-tobacco message. It is directed by Pheonix Mangus, and is being filmed by Hey Y'all productions. I can say with all honesty, that that was one of the funnest experiences of my life...I mean, who wouldn't want to be a zombie?

Myspace Backgrounds

You will notice that my songs do not have lyrics, that's because I don't consider myself a singer. In the same way that vocalists communicate certain emotions, I emulate them instrumentally on the guitar.

Member Since: 12/7/2007
Influences: My influences are mainly guitarists in the Hard Rock genre... Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, Brian May of Queen, etc..
