ABOUT

I am 6'5", brown hair, beard, 24 years old, and I started taking bass lessons when I was 9 years old. My dad owned a recording studio which we lived in and I have had the privledge of playing with very talented artists. I also play lead guitar; keyboards; drums; sing lead and harmonies. I am currently majoring in music at the University and I am very keen to mixing different styles. I love a great beat and groove but nothing beats a great melody. I would like to focus on original material and would like to work with other artists who are serious and fun to work with. I am laid back and easy going but I do set pretty high standards for myself. I am not looking for fancy; just magic. Look at my spirit guide behind my head in my main picture. She is a big orb. :)
