I play tenor Ukulele (acoustic and plugged in) and I am the lead singer in a San Clemente, CA based beach-vibe, island reggae-ish band. We play original music that I wrote and continue to write, as well as cover some really great new school island reggae bands (e.g., Iration, The Green, Stick Figure, SOJA, Anuhea, Common Kings, Kolohe Kai), soulful and rockin' country tunes, and a few R&B and rock gems depending on the occassion. I have been playing music my whole life (drums and guitar), but I gravitated to the Ukulele and singing about 10 years ago after spending a lot of time in Hawaii and falling in love with the instrument. I am currently looking to work with a talented female vocalist that also plays acoustic guitar for some local shows in south Orange County, San Diego and LA, as well as guitarists and bass players to audition for our band. Let's jam and have fun!
