About Me

I am a multi-instrumentalist performing as a one man band (DreStarr) and also performing with an international DJ (Derrick Thompson - DriveTrain - of Soiree Records) playing some incredible Techno / House gigs. It's my 40 hour a week job as a Program Manager / Quality Engineer for an automotive rep company (BTWestern) that keeps me mainly occupied working and traveling from Detroit to Halifax Nova Scotia, Chicago Il, Canton Ohio, Nashville TN, Canton Mississippi, Sweetwater Oklahoma, Vancouver, Portland Oregon, Mountain Home Arkansas to my corporate office in Newport Beach California. Since I make an decent salary I can't afford at this time to pursue my dreams musically on a full time basis and still maintain the life style I currently enjoy and my financial responsibilities. I do however get to jam / perform with some of the finest musicians around, Derrick Thompson (DriveTrain), Regi Wooten's Band - Victor Wooten brother in Nashville, Joe De Renzo (www.joederenzo.com) in California to name a few and when I'm not doing that, I am writing and recording (slowly learning how to record / mix) my own music. I need some great female vocalist assistance with my tracks that I'm working on in R&B, Pop, Rock, & Hip Hop genre as well as Jazz Fusion so PLEASE contact me ! I love, write, and play all styles of music however, Jazz Fusion / Rock Fusion is my first love. Contact me if you're interested in collaboration of my material or your material or coming out to my shows and / or maybe even performing together at some venues near you when I'm in your town.
