Life is not a dress rehearsal.. bring it on

About Me

well, it goes a little something like this.... I studied music production with the Legendary pioneer of electronic music,.. Thomas Dolby back in the early 90s (She Blinded Me With Science) remember that track? anyways.. Thomas was somewhat of a mentor to me and introduced me to the world of Electronic music technology and music production.. thank you Thomas.
I spent a few years refining my production skills by scoring music for some of the top Video Games such as "Quake II", Quake III Arena , 007 James Bond "Tomorrow Never Dies" and "Terminator 3" to name a few..... These scores received major acclaims and where released independently of the games as soundtracks..... fast money n great music!
Afterwards my music appeared in major movies such as "Rush Hour", "Fridays", and K-19 the Widow Maker". ...... Recentley Ive been working more with DJs and Artists in the dance and electronica scene....... I worked with the countries premier female turntablist DJ Irene on her latest release "DJ Irene Live@ Spundae" and am currently producing other records as well.... DJ Rap drops in from time to time and the Speaker Junkies are rocken my remixes all over the place... got skills? lets make some music... I'm all about it ! My Remixes include: U2,Nirvana,Annie Lennox,Justin Timberlake,Gwen Steffani and others
I own and run (along with my partner Christopher Wight) a new Digital Music Production school in downtown los angeles that caters to electronic artists called Icon Collective....www.learn2produce.com ..if you want to learn 2 produce.... you gotta check it out.... I'm currently in the studio feverishly working on a solo album for summer release, some tracks are posted here for you to check out.. I welcome your feedback
Music is my passion ......Art is my life........ And what a journey its taken me on.... I've struggled at times more than you can imagine for the pursuit of my art...but then again.... I have some awesome stories to tell.... What memories stand out? performing for MTV Europe on the beaches of the Black Sea in Romania.. touring Japan, the bullet train, temples in Kyoto and hillside towns in Osaka... touring the States and playing keys for The Gap Band, George Clinton, Chaka Kahn, and others .... my favorite experience.... manipulaing all the Visuals on the giant screens for Paul Oakenfold on the main stage @ ULTRA FEST in front of 25,000 people in Miami ...... I live a blessed life...... wanna join me in my adventures?... aight... bring it on!
