About Me

Originaly from Newport RI. Where you are born and raised, i believe, has an impact on who you are as an artist and Newport was a great place to grow up. I attended and graduated Berklee College of Music in Boston. The influences that i've listed here are the biggies but I'm influenced by everything i hear really. All the composers that i've worked closely with and played for here in Los Angeles as well. I took a break from gigging and focused my energies on discovering who i was as a player, composer and artist. If you haven't done it yet i highly recommend it. I started by putting aside all the effects. I discovered tons of new concepts and revelations that brought me to a level where i finally feel i have music worthy of your ear. I plan on haveing blogs that will turn you on to players that you may not know and include bits'o wisdom about the instrument ....... if you have any revelations please share them with a post here for any and all artists that stop by.
