Me:
I am 28 and live in Greenwood (south of Indianapolis). I have many years experience on stage and in the studio. I have primarily been a bassist; yet also sing, play guitar, drums, and trumpet, along with dabbling in a few other areas. I have been writing songs for a handful of years now and would like to make them stage-worthy and get them out there to be heard.

The Music:
The songs are a mix of pop, rock, and white-boy rap (on some). The white-boy rap may or may not be dismissed from the style. I like the fact that it gives a different dynamic on some songs, however, it may be a bit of a “cheese-factor” that is not necessary.

Please take a listen to a few songs. All songs were written and performed by me on a very modest Roland 8-track and therefore do not have the best sound quality nor are they anywhere near “complete” in the sense that I am more than willing to improve on the songs themselves.

Before responding, please understand that it is very important that you really enjoy what you hear. I am not looking for members that could really give or take the music that they will be playing.

It is also important that should you decide to try-out and join the group, that your writing/playing style fit the current song styles and feel.

Once a handful of the songs that are already written are learned (and made better), we will then begin writing as a group to inject even more of each individual’s own flavor into the music.

Connections:
I have a lot of network connections that remain untapped, waiting for the right opportunity to present a solid product. Having been an original member of Extra Blue Kind during all the success and hype, I have many people to turn to that would be willing to help us along the way.
