The Lowdown
Well a little about me: I have been playing guitar for well
over 20 years and have been recording and producing for over
10 years. I have produced film soundtracks, music for
commercials, local bands and sound effects. Oh and by day im an Operations Manager for Laika/house.
The tunes on here are just me. Just ideas and noodling. I have been a little lazy to post new stuff. But ill get around to it soon.
In the 90's I played in a number of bands, New Wave Motorcycle Man, Johnny Ho Killa, No Matta What!, Indian Hole, and Hillarys Faith.
Sick and tired with the music scene I started producing music for
others, commercials, designing websites, making soundtracks and mastering my recording techniques. Some how this turned into a business in which I ran for a number of years.
During the last 4 years I have honed in on my guitar playing and
have been getting back to my Rock/Metal/Glam/Punk roots. I
have been studying with guitar legend, Tim Ellis, for the 3 last
years sharpening up my playing and song writing abilities.
A few years ago Jean Luc, my partner in crime, and I have
tried to create a new band, along with Camero Hair
bassest turned drummer Mike Johnson, but the band never found
a singer worth a shit!! S0 that project got axed. So i continue to write and feed off other musicians.
Other stuff: I like going out and getting into trouble. But that has
been on rare occasion as of late. Id rather watch paint dry than listen the someones same old rap.......YOU?
Some cats I have played with over the years:
Brian McCalister Master Drummer, Jean Luc Lafont (The meanest
bass player around), Bryce Hyder, remember "Love on Ice"?, Chandler Sherpard, Malcom Jackson (Malcapone), Toni Hill, Melvin Brannon
(the Dan Reed Network), KJ Keller, Myron,
Jason Kenndey (polycubist), Tim Ellis (GOD Guitar Player), Corey Stafford, Toni Hill, I-read, Wes Matthews, Mike Johnson, Eric Hiileran and countless others who i cannot remember at this time..
Im into: what ever other people are into and doing. Hangin with the Fam, Working on our new house, playing and studying music, cooking, making movies, design, plotting, and whatever.
OH. I went to Sam Barlow High Class of 1988 and Portland State University 1993.
