ABOUT

Hello

I have played in a handful of rock and experimental bands. I love to play live, record and jam. I have been told over the years that I sound like (that wanker) Stuart Copeland by some. I play with a lot of feel.
I have been ingesting and digesting many forms of music my whole life. I tend to stay away from metal and hip hop but I could rap a few old IcedT OG or Guru or Tribe songs if I had to.
