About Me

I have been playing and singing for 16 Years, my involvement in projects have ranged from Rock, Alternative, Metal, Folk, Rock Rap, Smooth Jazz, Worship, Emo, Country.A positive attitude, color, texture and tact would be a good way to describe my approach. Less is more most of the time, my goal is to make a vocalist feel supported and knit a group of musicians together.I have had the pleasure of backing up & working with, Garrett Thomas Band, Thomas Lee (now plays with Bo Bice), Paige Aufhammer, Victoria Robertson, Enrique Platas,Doug Feseal, Colin Clyne, Marvin Glover, Jon Zucker, Megan Connelly, Alfonso, The KRy (see video on my page), Moral Issue, Straight 2 The Point, PUSH, RYI, Alan Sanderson of Straight Sounds, Patrico Pickslay of Red Song music and various worship leaders in San Diego and I am looking forward to working with more artists in the future.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::The following links are to some artists on My Space I have recorded with or played live shows. textural, rhythm and lead guitar and backing vocals. Please note: I have not recorded with Paige Aufhammer or Marvin Glover as of yet.When you need a backup guitar and vocal for a session, gig, flydates etc, contact me here, I will be happy to chat!garrett thomas bandpaige aufhammerAlfonso De La Espriellavictoria robertsonmegan connellyJohn ZuckerColin ClyneMarvin Glover By the way, """IF YOU LOVE GUITARS"""??
