ABOUT

I am a professional musician and audio engineer. My main instruments are guitar and keyboards. I especially love to play hard funk, Afro-Cuban or electronica but am comfortable in most styles.

Always looking for "the" drummer...an aggressive mix of Dave Garibaldi, Mike Clark, Harvey Mason, Jabo, Clyde and ?love. If that's you, contact me immediately via email: me AT grahamspice DOT com
