ABOUT

I am currently in a band with an awesome lead singer/acoustic and electric guitarist. Very soulful sounding voice! It's just the two of us right now. We're looking for a bassist right now that has "soul...". We're putting together a power trio and currently have gigs with just the two of us. We are working with a label right now so this can be a great opportunity for the right person. Think John Mayer Trio! I like different sounds and playing with the beat. I use a lot of double bass and toms in my playing. I love going between the hi-hat and snare to build from. I like playing to dynamics to create the mood or emotion. The ideal band for me would be one that functioned like a symphony with "parts". I love playing with a soulful singer and guitarists that can really go at it. Funky, funky, funky is what I mean. I've done production work with drum machines using samples so I kind of have that approach to creating a song versus just jamming to see what happens. I'm an artist! Dont' get it twisted though... I like to rock out!!!
