ABOUT

I have a bunch of music written that I would like to perform and write more. I’m surrounded by great musicians, but don’t have the voice.

Quite a few original songs written that are ready for the right person to add their touch to them. Music is my outlet and my therapy and I want to share it with people who feel the same way. I can say the things that I normally don’t have the courage to say through music, I can express my most intimate feelings through music, I can pretty much do anything through music.

A little about me:
I’ve been playing guitar for over 25 years and pretty much started writing immediately after picking it up. My first real band was a Nu-Metal band (yep, I went through that phase..) who played around the tri-state for years. After many years as a band, most of us went our separate ways and tried out different things as musicians. I went on to join a band called What Remains. We were a group of people who have learned from our previous mistakes and were determined to write catchy songs. We recorded and released our EP Lost Wonderland, played a bunch of shows and eventually it just wasn’t right.

I had taken a break from music after What Remains, and joined the United States Army (yeah.. big change) because I realized that I had done nothing to grow and educate myself on anything beyond music. There weren’t many jobs that I qualified for, so I needed a change.

After the military, I started my career in film and television in the props dept. I eventually got back together with my long time friends and just jammed. No strings attached, no commitment, playing old songs, having fun. It made me remember how much music has meant to me.

I have been writing more music than ever lately, and I’ve been writing some of the best stuff that I’ve ever written. Very catchy and relevant music. Like I said earlier: I have all of the pieces, I just need the right voice.

If any of this interests you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
