About Me

[PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MUSIC YOU ARE LISTENING TOO CONSISTS OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT COMPOSITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN EDITED TOGETHER. This is fairly common in Television, Film, Advertising etc. to show versatility in a composer. Above all, thank you for listening!!!! And by all means, hire me to write some music for you!]I've been in music my whole life as a musician and am now composing for all kinds of visual media. I write songs and lyrics as well. I LOVE loading a visual onto my G5 and through working with the director, composing music that will bring the visual to the next level.I play lots O instruments and am adept at writing in many styles. I have so much music inside that it is impossible to get even 10% on disk. Therefore, I relish the pressure of the pending project that allows me to focus my thoughts on the moment...I have my own recording studio and really dig producing/recording other artists as time allows.I hope to meet filmmaker/directors here that need score to their picture.
