Is better with Music!

About Me

I am a Seattle producer and recording engineer working out of my own Soul Kitchen Studios and now London Bridge Studios . I have been doing this for about 14 years now and I love it. I have had the opportunity to work with many great Northwest bands ( Paul Rucker , Nepotistas , Elizabeth Carpenter , Everstone , 13:1 , Everyday Jones , Marvin Glover , Danny Godinez and J Brown just to name a few) and I am always looking for unique and interesting bands to work with.In addition to my recording and producing activities, I have been in a few HOT Northwest bands like Chimpo , The Haze Brothers, DJ Sticky , My Boyfriends Band (with Jami Attenberg ), and currently The Figure of Eight with Taryn Webber , and Daniel Gero (playing out in fall of 07). In addition to "The Fig", I am working (as DJ Sticky ) with Todd and Suzie Strong, and Big Dave on a new grime project that will knock your socks off (Stay Tuned). I have composed sound scores for NorthWest choreographers Crispin Spaeth Dance Group and Alex Martin of Better Biscuit Dance.Although I mostly find myself at work on music of some kind, I love to surf, snowboard, mountain bike and hang out with my amazing wife Amy.Peace PS: This Suntonio Bandanaz track is coming off a kind release due out this spring. Recorded and mixed at Soul Kitchen Studios of course!
