I'm not too active in performing these days, although I am the new vocalist for BLOOD OF OUR ANCESTORS. I just joined the band in late June and we are in the process of recruiting members and writing new material. I will keep you posted on that as it evolves. I have been spending a lot of time as a Music Business Consultant lately for the band Citizen Rising. I am a firm believer that an act does not need a major label behind them to sustain a successful career in music, you just have to go about it the right way and of course have a budget to work with (which is the biggest obstacle).
I have always had a passion for music, it makes me feel something that no one else can provide. I have had my fair share of bands, I think I joined my first band when I was 16 or so. One band that i was in, Devious, actually played with Dee Dee Ramone just before he perished. My most impressive endeavor though was with a band called Atomic. Within two years we had our own company, recorded a full length album produced by Sylvia Massy, won the Best Metal Band award at the 2006 Rockies, headlined the House of Blues and Key Club along with other top venues, and negotiated a movie soundtrack with a music video produced by Matthew Earl Jones. Unfortunately the movie never came to fruition but we still got a $200,000 music video out of it at no cost to us. Shortly before touring with Adema, turmoil within the band infected the moral of certain members and there was a messy break-up.
Recently, I got my certification in Music Business from the Music Business Program at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, Ca. I attained a 4.0 GPA and was nominated for Student of the Year. I interned for a marketing and publicity company called LaFamos and shortly thereafter I became the Director of Music Advertising at an Entertainment Network, which is where I am working now.

I still do music business consulting for bands if asked, I'm always down to help.

Your result for The Lover Style Profile Test...
The Romantic Lover
Based on the results of this test, it is highly likely that:
You prefer your romance and love to be traditional rather than daring or out-of-the-ordinary, you would rather pursue than be pursued and, when it comes to physical love, your satisfaction comes more from providing a wonderful time to your partner than simply seeking your own.
This places you in the Lover Style of: The Romantic Lover.
The Romantic Lover is a wonderful Lover Style, and is the hallmark of young love--the Romantic Lover often loves the idea of being in love, and being a wonderful lover, and so they try to bring their prospective partners every bit of joy or happiness that they can. They are the serenaders, and the ones to rent carriages in the park or take a gondola ride down a canal. The Romantic Lover is a treasure to find, though they sometimes are prone to being hurt if their advances are ignored or harshly rebuffed.
In terms of physical love, the Romantic Lover can seem shy, but usually it is simply a by-product of wanting to be perfect for their lover, and often needs some extra encouragement and re-assurance to truly feel at ease. Given a special, intimate evening, and the right lover, the Romantic Lover can be a delight in bed.
Best Compatibility can probably be found with: The Classic Lover (most of all) or the Suave Lover, or the Exotic Lover.
