About Me

I play Bass:
Animatronics
Simply put, I'm an introverted extrovert. Share the same birthday as Gandhi. Born in Israel, but raised in Los Angeles since age 3. I immerse myself in music. Music is a language in itself. A language that anyone can understand, if they choose to...
Listening is an underestimated skill that takes years, probably a lifetime to fully grasp. Listening doesn't just apply to music, but to communication in relationships and expressing yourself. Music is my main outlet for self-expression. Currently I translate my thoughts through playing the bass, as well as various forms of hand percussion.
Always find the beauty in any scene, situation, or person. I find all sorts of relationships with people to be fascinating, whether it be family, friend, work, intimacy, love, because we feed off of others' energy... and energy levels vary within different relationships.
Look at everything with more than one perspective, so that it may help you evolve and change. It helps to wake up any morning and change something small that you take for granted any other day, so that you can learn from it and ultimately about yourself. Everything is one and interconnected. The window you see the world out of, the music you listen to, the colors you see, and the feelings you feel are all made up of the same energy. Thoughts like these are what help me wake up everyday and be who I am at this moment.
If I were to come back to earth again, I'd take the form of a dolphin. In essence, I love nothing more than to entertain and/or be entertained.
