Black Essox

Started playing guitar and piano at 5 years . Started my first band and played out at 13 years . Started playing small circuit gigs at 15 years . Started recording in studios at 16 years . Started writing original material at 14 years . Played small to medium size venues throughout the late 80's and early 90's . Left the live seen in 93' to continue writing primarily on my own . Have amassed a large qty of original materials . Never stop practicing and studying music I teach my children as well . I love classical for it's exacting form , metal and rock for it's attitude , goth metal for it's surealizm and theater , blue's because it's real and Jazz for the free art of expression and improvisation . Studied music theory throughout high school and for two years in college . Avid guitar collector . I own my own digital recordng studio as well as a complete pro audio system for live shows . It has about 8000 watts .
