About Me


BIOHAZARD-I spent most of my life thus far with Biohazard. From the 90's until early 2000's we toured the world and made some great music! Nine albums and a whole shit load of stories, memories (good and bad) and made a lot of friends from all over the world....I'll take these times with me to the grave! Check out the new Biohazard site coming soon with the whole history documented on one website. I will finally finish the Biohazard DVD by the summer. Keep up with BIOHAZARD.COM for more info.

SUICIDE CITY-I focus all of my energy and time on Suicide City. We were officially spawned out of the cold winter of 2005. Suicide City is currently on tour and working in the studio during our days home. For the first time in my life I am wholly satisfied with my musical outlet. Visit us at www.suicidecity.com for more info.

ENDRAH-During some time off between Biohazard albums/tours, I moved to Brazil with my wife to welcome our daughter into this choatic world. While there I became good friends with some fellow musicians who I met through the Sepultura crew. Fernandao Schafer (THE most insanely intense and talented drummers I've ever played with) and I spent some time jamming together in the studio. He went on to form INK which I soon joined up with and eventually we reworked the band into what is now ENDRAH. Being completely challenged as a guitar player, writing and touring Brazil with these guys was an awesome experience. With logisitcal problems and me venturing back into the studio with Biohazard, I had to leave the band so they could continue on at their own pace. The band is currently putting the finishing touches on their debut album, so check them out at www.endrah.com for more info!

BLU-While on tour with Biohazard I became friends with the singer from the Cleveland, OH band HILO. Jennifer and I ventured into a side project we named blu. Coming from a direction that was completely different than anything I had ever done before, we wrote and recorded some 20 or so songs. Jennifer eventually moved to LA to continue with her art career and blu eventually dissolved. There are some demo's up on our myspace page... www.myspace.com/experienceblu

AMPT-I found a way to actually create a world with 36 hours in a day. After discovering this, I teamed up with Gabber/Harcore DJ Rob Gee to work on his new album. After writing a dozen or so songs with Rob, we put together a live band (featuring drummers from Biohazard Danny Schuler and Suicide City-Danny Lamagna, Biohazard guitarist Scott Roberts and Slipknot DJ Sid) The band took on several different line-ups once I left to pursue other musical avenue's. The guys are still going strong! We mixed hardcore/gabber type of electronics with the hardcore/metal type of guitar work we all love! Check out www.amptup.com for more info and check out Rob Gee at www.adamworldwide.com

UNDERGROUND SOUND STUDIOS-Biohazard spent years working out of Rat Piss Studios in downtown Brooklyn. After dealing with the rats, subways noise and inflated rent, Danny Schuler (Biohazard drummer) and I decided to open up a new studio in NJ where hardcore/metal/rock never died! We've worked with everyone from Sick of it All, Life of Agony, Pantera, Sepultura, Onyx, Cypress Hill and Type O Negative. Check out www.undergroundsoundstudios.com for more info!
