Influences: I'm heavily influenced by Techmaster PEB & DJ Magic Mike. I PLAY & WRITE WHAT I FEEL AND WHETHER THAT'S RIGHT OR WRONG IS UP TO THE LISTENER. AS AN ARTIST I FIND THAT MY GOAL IS TO PUT THE MUSIC & SOUND OUT THERE AND LET THE UNIVERSE DECIDE IF IT HAS ANY MERIT.....

I HAVE SO MANY INFLUENCES, IT WOULD BE HARD TO PUT THEM ALL HERE......

WORDS CAN ONLY BARELY REPRESENT THE COMPLETE EFFECT OF LISTENING TO THE WORLD AND EXPERIENCING LIFE AROUND ME IN MY MUSICAL EXPERIENCES DAY TO DAY. I AM ALWAYS REALLY BLOWN AWAY BY MICHAEL BRECKER, BUNKY GREEN, SONNY STITT, COURTNEY PINE, KIRK WHALUM, DAN HIGGINS, ERIC DOLPHY, JOHN COLTRANE & CHARLIE PARKER WHENEVER I HEAR THEM. THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT SAXOPHONISTS AND MUSICIANS THAT ARE INSPIRING, THOUGH. I FIND INSPIRATION FROM EVERY LIVING MOMENT.

ONE OF MY GREATEST INFLUENCES WAS MY HIGH SCHOOL BAND TEACHER. HIS NAME WAS RON VAN ORDER. IT WAS THROUGH HIM THAT I REALIZED THAT I COULD BE A LEADER AND SHOULD NEVER BE AFRAID TO LET ANY TALENT SHINE FROM MYSELF OR WITH OTHERS. MOST IMPORTANTLY HE TAUGHT THAT THERE IS MUSIC IN EVERY MOMENT AND I'M REALIZING THAT TO BE TRUE MORE SO EVERY DAY.

AS FAR AS WHAT I LIKE TO WRITE MUSICALLY ; I WRITE A GREAT DEAL OF ELECTRONIC BASED RHYTHMS AND BEATS, THEN I PLAY SAX or EWI OVER IT. IT'S VERY FUNKY AND VERY TRIPPY ALL AT ONCE. I LOVE THE MPC2000 AND I MAKE GROOVES ON IT ALL THE TIME. IT'S MY FAVORITE CREATIVE TOOL OTHER THAN MY MIND AND SONY ACID.
Sounds Like: IF YOU COULD MELT CDS AND BOIL THEM TOGETHER IN A POT AND THEN PUT THEM INTO A SKILLET AND FINISH THEM LIKE PANCAKES, I WOULD SAY MY MUSIC IS A COMBINATION OF FUNK, ELECTRONICA, JAZZ & TRIP-HOP ALL BOILED TOGETHER, POURED INTO A SKILLET, FLIPPED ONCE, THEN STACKED NEATLY ON A BIG WARM PLATE.
