CHIEF SIMPKO

Love JAH and live, for JAH works in mystical ways

About Me

I have been playing reggae music since 1988. I play guitar, bass, keys, drums, sing (both lead and background), compose, teach, sound engineer, produce. I lived in Northern CA for eleven years (1989-2000) playing in numerous bands before moving back to Southern CA. Since then, I have played with many bands and have been able to blend in quickly. Looking for work as a guitarist, bassist, or keyboardist, and can harmonize while playing guitar and keys. I produce music at home on my PC, and soon I will be able to record live performances with my computer.
