ABOUT
I'm a performing/studio musician and recording engineer available to perform at weddings, corporate events and non-smoking entertainment venues throughout the greater Tampa Bay Area.
I have recorded a full repertoire of high-quality backing tracks which I utilize during my live performances. These backing tracks allow me to provide a polished entertainment experience rivaling that of a full live band. Since I recorded all my backing tracks myself in my recording studio, they have a consistent sound so my performance sounds like a large act...not one musician playing along with low-quality backing tracks from multiple and unrelated sources. I have provided a number of demo recordings below.
