I am a lifelong musician, especially proficient with guitar, I have a Guitar Performance degree from Berklee College Of Music, Boston.
I can also sing, play bass, keyboards, synth, percussion, a bit of violin, etc...
I have played in top bands, which I co-formed and co-wrote or wrote all the music for, in New York City and Los Angeles. I have written and recorded a lot of personal solo music, from rock to pop, to elctronica, triphop, funk, psychedelic, etc.
I have played many studio sessions for other artists from Boston to New York, to London, to Los Angeles.
Also, I have been DJing in Los Angeles, a bit in NYC and many other places around the country since 1997. I was on the very first DJ tour of the US. I did my own electronic DJ events, one of which was called Space Station 3.
I very recently came back to New York to the Albany area and am searching for serious musicians, in New York state. I am looking to collaborate on writing interesting and unique original modern music, to record, rehearse, perform and tour behind eventually.
Something catchy with a deep groove and depth and dimension to the music as well...sonic scapes. Great vocals. Danceable is great too if it flows like that.
Looking for other talented positive, inspired, like minded individuals, who feel this!
