SEEKING

ABOUT

I have been playing music on the Detroit Music scene for over a decade. I have played Bass in bands such as Downtime, KRONiS, Highwater and currently I am the bassist for .12 Gauge Persuasion.

I have done some studio work over the years sitting in on many recordings but it is not my place to claim these songs because I was a hiered gun so to speak.

I was the lead singer for Big Black Cadillac and The Dharma Initiative

Influences

Musically I have been influenced by many bands and individuals from Areosmith to Metallica to Theroy of a Deadman to Saliva. Too many to put in here but feel free to ask. Bass wise I am heavily influenced by the styles of Entwhistle, Burton, Newstead, Blasko, John Paul Jones and many more

I m from the school that the Bass is the mesh that brings the drums in lock with the the rythem and lead guitars. My style is very melodic and even "meat and potatoes" if you want. The Bottom of every song should be fat thick and thuderours and allow the other players to do what they do.
