SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
I am a professional musician with licensing deals and signed to an international label. My background is mostly in metal/progressive but I am open to other genres to play with. I am currently looking for some musicians to do some touring in the fall and to back me up for some live gigs. I also play bass and sing lead vocals and can fill in on some gigs if you need it. Yes, I can sing lead and some Journey notes with no problem just to give you an example of my range. I am endorsed by over 15 world-class companies such as Fractal Audio, Mission Engineering, McNaught Guitars, Brian Moore Guitars, Suhr, V-Picks, SIT Strings, JH Audio, FU Tone, EMG Pickups, Hughes and Kettner, Port City and more. I have a full recording studio and full backline pro-production.

Boys of Summer (cover)
Boys of Summer (cover) Track number: 7 Year: 2012 Album: Guitarcadia Genre: Rock
This is a track from my album Guitarcadia that was released two years ago. It was the only vocal cover on my album. It's a bit over the top but it was fun and is still a crowd-pleaser.

Right Angles
Right Angles Track number: 1 Year: 2012 Album: Guitarcadia Genre: Rock
This was my first track before the album was done. The entire album was mixed and mastered by CJ Snare of FireHouse. This is more of a poppy instrumental but shows my direction in writing.
