ABOUT

Seasoned Pro bass player/singer. Well- versed on Bass, Acoustic guitar/ Electric guitar and vocals. Primarily a bassist in band settings. Open to new projects and Professional projects depending on the fit. I have been blessed to play with some amazing musicians and bands over the past several years such as; The Railbirdz, Smokin' Section, Heart & Soul, Vintage Sugar & The Grind. Currently avery active with Heart & Soul Duo and Heart & Soul 4-piece Band. I am a quick study, professional & reliable. I can sing lead vocals as well as harmonies.

I love laying down solid grooves with a seasoned/pro drummer who is dynamic, has great feel and excellent meter. In the past couple years, I played bass for Vintage Sugar, The Railbirdz, Heart & Soul and was also a founding member of The Smokin' Section, a dance/cover Trio that gigged steadily in Tucson for over 6 years. I most recently started playing bass for Grind, a hot local dance/cover band.

I also perform a Solo / Duo Acoustic Guitar/Vocalist act a couple times a month at local upscale resorts, restaurants, coffee houses, parties, weddings etc. Performances are currently at Hacienda Del Sol twic a month. Also play at La Paloma, Ritz Carlton, Skybox, Acacia, Cafe Tremolo, Metro Grill, Sir Veza's, Sakura, Bamboo Club, McMahon's etc.
