I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and just recently graduated from Kent State University. I'm always looking for new opportunities, business wise and musically. I aslo appreciate peoples' 2 cents regarding anything professional so feel free to message me.
I've been making music for nearly 8 years in a handful of different genres. As a singer-songwriter in Loonsdale(www.purevolume.com/loonsdale), I concentrated on acoustic pop elements and light-hearted rock. Following various exciting, yet less than expected accomplishments, Loonsdale played it's last show in April of 2006 opening for Bad Fish at Mr. Small's Funhouse in Pittsburgh.
During my first year of college I wrote and produced hip-hop tracks while performing in Kent and at venues on The Flats in Cleveland. In 2006 I joined with a group of good friends and musicians to form Tropidelic(www.myspace.com/tropidelic), a reggae rock party band. Tropidelic placed 2nd in the prestigous 60+ band Battle of Standing Rock in April 2007 and continues to experience success due to a loyal fan base and unique vibe.
All the music on this site is produced and written by myself with the exception of Goodbye Love produced by my homie Dehn(www.myspace.com/misterdehn) and To The Ocean co-produced by J Alexander and co-written by TEZ and Neal(www.myspace.com/jalexanderproductions).
Music is about triggering emotions, why not try to promote the good ones? if only to take your mind off the gray sky for a few minutes.

ARE YOU A PRODUCER?

If your in the business of making beats and looking to collaborate I'm always looking for reasons to write. Light sampling is cool but I'm not too down with the straight unoriginal loop beats, too man...
