ABOUT
I am a multi-instrumental studio musician (but primarily a bass player) who has been playing for 32 years, writing for 28 years, and teaching for 15 years. I do not write to any specific genre but rather am influenced by nearly anything I hear, from songs on the radio down to the rhythm of the windshield wipers.
