CHEERS TO MY PEERS

About Me

I play alto saxophone and am currently studying jazz at FSU. I experiment with piano and singing as well, in the spirit of composition. I write a few tunes a week, I wish they didn’t just sit around so perhaps one day I’ll get a band to play my soul out, If you’re interested please hit me up. . I like to take a different approach to rock music and incorperate synthesizer, funk, jazz and hip-hop when able. I have experience with the recording industry and have recently recorded a full length album containing 7 original compositions between myself and Stephen Mulligan. Entitled, Catharsis, the record sold about 200 copies in the Baltimore region over the summer of 2006. I am currently attending Florida State University where I plan to do more song writting, recording and gain much more jazz experience.
