About Me

The usual magic and mayhem of continues. As soon as we have some SJ tracks mixed I will put a link up to the website.

I am still busy writing, songs and prose and starting on a script for my film for next year, so I'm busy!

Cirius Music and Film projects continue to develop.

We have completed filming on our TV pilot 'Across The Pond". The whole thing was beyond amazing, phenomenal crew, wonderful cast, fantastic locations!! Javier is editing right now and back in LA, I miss him! I will put a link up to the film when its ready to go.

Soulful, funky, joyful songs and life, it's all an unfolding dream, every step revealing more of ourselves than we thought we knew.

You can buy some of my songs on itunes, look for Dr Sax, Gospels according to Dr Sax. Dr Sax is working on a new album, due out sometime this year,
