ABOUT

I am currently seeking Funky like minded individuals to create, collaborate, record and perform with..
I've played in a wide variety of bands over the years-Punk/Metal, Country/Blues, StonerRock/Acid Jazz, Funk/Reggae-Soul & Hip Hop~ so I am looking for motivated Musicians with an appreciation for variety to create a unique sound.
I really dig Neo-Soul, an just don't hear alot of those sounds locally..


I am a graduate of the McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul, Mn. which has given me a solid background to draw from and really be able to play the song to give it a life of it's own.

I have both touring and studio experience, as well as living room & back porch jamm skill's..
I've re- relocated to central Ohio from Minneapolis, Mn. So I'm actively networking with Musician's of all style's and background's.

The above tunes are rough demos from various band rehearsal's and improv jam sessions from over the years. I love to jam and lay down the groove...

Check out a few more demos-

ALSO .. check me out with~ Jah Soul

Please feel free to contact me. I'm always looking to network or get a project together.
