SEEKING

ABOUT

I graduated New Mexico State University with a degree in Music Performance. Shortly afterwards I joined a regional ska band Liquid Cheese and toured the country for 7 years during these years I gained a huge network of fellow musicians and club owners around the southwest, west coast, east texas and southeast areas.
I then joined Radio la Chusma and performed with them and did booking/tour management for another 7 years. I've had the great privilege to have played with incredibly talented musicians and opened up for great bands like The Wailers, The Expanders, Chris Murray, Collie Buddz, New Kingston, Passafire.
I've also been performing in a Latin/Rock variety band Latin Funktion out of Las Cruces, NM performing cover songs from Poncho Sanchez, Ray Barretto, Willie Colon, Amy Winehouse, Doobie Brothers.
