ABOUT

I love to jam weather it's hard rock to laid back down tempo or even a little Raggae. Let's add a cello or a thick base line, experiment and make something cool and unique! I'm all about mixing it up and keeping things fresh but most importantly no stress and enjoy making music. If your influences are similar, perhaps our skills combine could produce something cool. We are all busy and have our nut to hit, but when it comes to jam time, nothing else comes to mind.

Influences

They are vast. Currently I'm about 90% modern alternative like Atoms for Peace/RH to Black Moth Super Rainbow. Pandora all day. From the classics like Floyd to Doors, Grunge like Nirvana to The Chili Peppers, and Post Alt. like Youth Lagoon to Explosions in the Sky. The other 10% would fall into electronic down tempo that encompasses influence from jazz, raggae, lounge...
I was the percussion student in the grade school orchestra, decided to play sports but never left my drum kit alone. I'm now 37 with a family and am always working on some kind of music project. Percussion is my strongest area, but when it comes to recording I can implement some guitar, vocals and key stroking which are all evolving but gaining ground.
