ABOUT

Experienced pro-style drummer based in the New York City area with many years of on-stage and studio recording experience. Looking to join or form a band with musicians in the immediate New York City/Jersey City area with similar music experience. Current rehearsal/studio access at the Music Building NYC.

My music career began early in Boston playing with original and cover bands touring throughout New England.

After leaving the East Coast in 2004, I spent 7 years in the Chicago Music scene playing many venues and festivals throughout Chicago-land and the Midwest with the band Pipe Dream

Since relocating to New York City in 2011, I supported Latin/Pop International Singer Melissa Otero During the 2014 Rising Tour (NY, WI, IL, OH) and recorded the track RETURN produced and mixed by 5x Grammy Winner Dave Clauss (Shakira, Maren Morris).

Most recently in 2020, I performed virtually with Melissa Otero at the Live at Heart Festival in Sweden.

Houston Hall Live Hip Hop/Pop
