ABOUT

As a keyboard player, my chops are right there, I play by ear so can pick up any song pretty quickly. I do not overplay or look for opportunities to show off, instead I usually create ambiance and fill in the gaps with some cool textures, pads, synth sounds, hooky parts when it fits, maybe some back tracks if the project calls for it..

As a bass player, I play by ear. I like to stay on the bottom mostly, and just groove with the drummer. I don't like to over play, I'm not that technical of a bassist. I look to groove and keep it simple. I also don't mind suggestions though, if I'm too simple on something I'll play more if you show me what you want... I have no ego.

Influences

As a keyboard player: Probably mostly 80s bands like Depeche Mode, Cure, some darker stuff like Chameleons, Mission UK, Cocteau Twins, other innovative projects from those days.I like some funky stuff too, some reggae too... pretty open taste in music.

As a bass player, mostly 90's Alt Rock was what I played the most of. I used to jam along to Duran Duran songs. I'm pretty groovy and open minded... just show me what you want and I'll make it happen. I have no ego.
