About Me

I am a musician. I began playing guitar when I was 12. Came from a huge family of musicians. My father, grandfather, and uncle all play guitar. And my aunt playes piano, and my other uncle toured the world as a horn player for funky jazz acts in the 70's. Safe to say i was born into it.I really enjoy atonal, abstract forms of music, and i try to incorporate these infulences into my playing and writing. Some of my favorites are Iannis Xenakis, Gorguts, Diamandia Galas, and a host of others.My creative muse is fulfilled in GIGAN. This musical bond of otherworldly origin with some of my greatest friends is my direct connection to sonic textures that shape the multiverse. Check out our myspace: http://www.myspace.com/giganmusic or our offical website: http://www.giganmusic.comI also am a student, when not active in music. I study education, and someday, in a galaxy far, far away, I will finish that goal. href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vczExLnBob3RvYnVja2 V0LmNvbS9hbGJ1bXMvYTE4MS9za2luaGVkLz9hY3Rpb249dmlldyZjdXJyZW 50PWdpZ2FuZ2xzb3NzeS5qcGc=" target="_blank"> ..
