ABOUT

10+ years of experience on stage and in studio w/ references
Bari-tenor singing voice ∙ Mid-range Grindcore/Metal throat

Interested in recording projects, and playing local and regional shows; interested in anything from Post Rock to Grindcore. I have a loud voice. Write incredible songs with me and deliver them with conviction. Literacy; DIY/Punk ethics a serious plus. My roots are in distorted genres -- not purist "Heavy Metal". Willing to collaborate with any number of combinations of genre-bending musicians. I have toured in the past, and would love to do so again.

I will be 100% committed to practice and gig times that accommodate my work and school schedules.

No divas, no politics, no burnouts, no powder hounds, no stage moves or lame crowd participation gimmicks. Know how to handle your booze; don’t expect to get famous.
