About Me

My first song, aptly titled "The First Time", was written while I was living in Santa Cruz, California. I was the singer for the band Crackpot at the time. "Estrella" was written shortly thereafter while on vacation in L.A. I played a few shows as Los Perdidos with my friend Tariqa on drums in Denver and at the Collective Unconscious in NYC. I sang backup with the K's for a short time performing at the Knitting Factory and R & R. I have been playing in Adam Lippman's band since August 2006 and we've performed at the Knitting Factory, the Delancey, Fat Baby, R&R and Galapagos. We currently play Estrella and have just introduced "Dirty Weekend" into the set list.
