About Me

I am addicted to art, music, movies, stories you name it..........I have dedicated myspace to mymusic and to the friends that I've met on the road of life as well as some friends of my heart. I'm a musician and music has been a big part of my life and it's a huge part of my lifestyle, I was born near the Los Angeles Harbor and grew up in the South Bay area surfing, skateboarding, playing sports, listening punk rock, going to gigs and making the scene was my thing. I'm one of the founding members of the band OO-Soul we're currently in a recording studio mixing down tracks for our third c.d release at the Greenshack Studio in Long Beach California (Thanks to Don) I'm also one the three founding members of the band Salvation Army (Befour Three o'clock) as well as Eyes of Mind,...... through-out the years I've performed with many different types groups including Chris Farrow (Cee Farrow) Sandra Becal, and The Chingas de Mingus. OO-Soul will be rockin the clubs this year.... we have been locked up the studio since March of 06' and are now looking foreword to performing live through out 07',.. the new c.d. will be finished hopefully soon....
