About Me

    This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Hi-- I'm a music freak who has chosen to live and work on the island of Martha's Vineyard . I own and operate a super cool recording studio in the town of Oak Bluffs. I have two great kids named Sadie (10) and Isaac (3)The music I produce ranges from Hip Hop loops for rappers and dancers, to rock, country, folk ,blues and Jazz. My door is open to whatever genre walks through and I love it all. I play several instruments and sing and get to lay tracks on most of the projects I produce.I am hoping MySpace will introduce me to new talent and artists that I wouldn't normally be exposed to (since I live on an island) If you are musically talented, I hope to meet you! If you just love music and are interested in the recording process, I'd like to meet you too!
