About Me

I have been working as a bass player with various artists both signed and unsigned for many years both in the U.S. and the U.K. I have played over 100 live shows, appeared on TV, in MTV and various other videos, appeared in press and done radio, played on albums for Shrapnel Records, Geffen/Roadrunner Records, SPV/Inside Out, and Neat Metal Records, and have toured. I have had the privilege of jamming with some of Rockâ€™s most legendary players. And I have worked with some of Rockâ€™s biggest producers. Although most of my work has been in the Hard Rock and Metal genres, I also play Pop and other styles of Rock. I have always drawn influences from a multitude of players and genres. I play both 4 and 5 string bass, as well as acoustic 5 string bass, and do backing vocals.
