ABOUT

I grew up in the inland empire! I like long walks on the beach... :) But mostly, I love to play music! I am currently exploring all sorts of music genres. I primarily play Telecasters however I do love to shred on my classic custom charvel every once in a while. I'm a gear FREAK! I spend almost all my free time researching gear of all sorts.
My Music career truly began when I was about 8 years old. My oldest brother (Who is a MONSTER on guitar) bought me my first guitar for my birthday!
A JAY TURSER STRAT!
While that was my very first guitar, I didn't stop there. I have owned over 50 guitars in the past 10 years!!! Anywhere from Strats to V''s. I began leading worship for my youth group when I was about 10 years old on my First acoustic guitar!
I did that on and off for about 7 years. Following that I began bringing my guitars EVERYWHERE and have yet to put one down!!!
I have gone through ALL sorts of gear! Amps, pedals, guitars and everything in between. I began playing with a band called Broken when I was about 12 years old. We competed in a talent show in which we took FIRST place against MANY other musical acts. Once that band split up, I started a band called Inside out! We played plenty of local shows and won Battle of The Bands at a local showcase when we were freshman. Not long after I left the band to peruse my acoustic interest.

I did plenty of writing and recording on my own and with many other solo artist. About 2 years after that I started a band called Third Time Around. We performed live in all sorts of places such as The House of Blues at Disney Land, The Vault in Temecula, Chain Reaction, The Wire, some venues out in Hollywood and many others! Amidst my full band performances I've done weddings, Birthdays, and back yard shows!

I listen to ALL SORTS OF BANDS! From country to Death Metal. I love acoustic music and just about anything else you could throw my way.

I am currently in the studio with a friend of mine Ryan Bellegrave working on some of our acoustic music. Ryan is the former bassist from THE CHANNELING (Featured in Tony Hawk Pro Skater Project 8)

My musical inspiration grows by the minute and I am always coming up with new ideas and projects weather it be fully orchestrated music or just vocals. I love to be in the studio so I am always open to trying new things musically.
