About Me

Mind your business.
Be grateful for all you have and you wont need a thing.
There is work to be done and I'm here to work.A Little info about me:
Born and raised on the North Shore I was a surfer and skater until I got into punkrock music. I started going to shows when I was 13 or so and began playing guitar a few years later.
After being in a few different bands, I met up with Derek86; I was 17 and he was 16. We wrote 20 songs and then brought Otto into the band. This was the start of 86 List.
A couple years later I began playing bass in a reggae band called Diverese Unity which inspired me to write some reggae style songs of my own, as reggae was the only other music I was into at the time. The product of that was Black Square.
I help with Unity Crayons non-profit in Honolulu setting up "all ages" music and art events and also promote events under a label called sound/house-named after a house in Makiki Black Square used to rehearse in. I've recently changed the sound/house label to Eighty-Six Productions.
I wrote a few mellow songs that I have here on this site, and hope to someday put out a solo CD.
