About Me

I'm an electric bass player, composer and sound designer for theater, film and dance. My musical background includes Latin, Funk, Rock, Flamenco and North Indian rhythms. I lived in London, UK for seven months (until 04/08) where I had the opportunity to play with a number of people and to tour Holland and Germany with THE CANDY TWINS. My home town is Toronto, Canada where I play with SANTERIAS (Flamenco/Latin Fusion), THE JOHNNYS (a high energy rock 'n' roll band) and SHAWNEE LYNNE TALBOT (Pop/Rock). I've also collaborated with THE MEXICAN STANDOFF (Indie/Rock) and INDIANTOUCH (Quwaali). I am currently working on TaxiHotel, an original band that plays a fusion of electronic music with dance and batucada beats by incorporating complex melodies and trip hop aesthetics. My medium combines digital and live recording. I am also very well versed on the acoustic guitar, the tablas and the kena. Contact me at [email protected] if you want to work together. ---------------------------------------------I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Back from the Germany tour

I’ve been back for about a week now. Went touring with "The Candy Twins". They love us in Germany. I’ve posted a video so you can check it out.
