ABOUT

Looking for a cowriter to crank out some Hip-Hop beats and/or Country songs.

Do you play bass? Do you know scales - Major, Minor, Mixolydian, Harmonic Minor?
Do you sing background vocals? Do you play keyboard chords?

I previously played in an acoustic & drums duo with a female for 200+ shows in cafes around the tri-state area. Besides that, I led an eight member hip-hop group in the Albany area.

The last couple of years I've been very focused on songwriting and recording at home, currently working on completing 2nd album of original material (out of 20 albums written).
