About Me

I left corporate America to become a full-time musician after figuring out that the movie "Office Space" was more of a documentary than a comedy. I'm a bass player & have realized that the drummers of my llife have way too much control over my state of mind. I think I most definitley suffer from reggaemylitis... The only thing about life I am absolutely sure about is that I must follow that little voice in my head, the gut feeling in my stomach & the passion in my heart - so far they are the only things that haven't led me astray.
I play lots of gigs around South Florida with my wicked reggae band Iruption as well as many other reggae, soca, blues, funk & R&B bands when I'm in town. I've played bass with Causion, Glen Washington, Mikey Dread, Nigel Lewis, Shaze, Wayne Stoddart, Elvis White & others.
I'm currently working on album with Gubu Coparchy in Jamaica. If you wanna hear some of my bass playing - check out my Abba Movement Productions site - that's some of our work & we got a lot more in progress.
I ride & train horses most days - its my other passion other than music. My horse Amethyst is 6 years old, and tries to kill me on a weeky basis, but I think like everything else in my life I wouldn't appreciate her unless she was a challenge.

You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world

You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
