Sticks: Beats, beats and mo' beats, a little guitar (Jimi I ain't!) plus a mean shrimp scampi!!!
Influences: The list is long and varied. Mostly, family, friends and life experiences.
Sounds Like: Some contemporary jazz sounds reminiscent of early 70's and mid 80's like Herbie Hancock, Roy Ayers, Pleasure and others. Some tracks sound like the music from 1980's sound track to movies like Beverly Hills Cops....It could be said that the sound is like some fusion mixed with R&B mixed with rock. There is definitely old school in the mix. Some jazz and a dab of country - even some stuff that may pass for World music.What you take from the music will be different from what others hear. So, if you have to put a label on it - it would have to be "Music" pure and simple.Sounds like fun and a little bit of everything and everybody. . . give it a listen - you decide who or what it sounds like - cool? Cool.
