ABOUT

I am singer/songwriter/ producer whose main instruments are Voice, keyboards and piano. I have written and recorded two full albums ( One solo + one group collaboration called Fuse) and I’m about to release another album of solo material.
That album is called Frequency.
Just uploaded 3 new songs that will be on my new album. Looking for lead guitar, bass and drums that are willing and able to play my original music and also some covers for an album show. Please see influences below and listen to my originals and shoot me a message if you're interested. Thanks!

Here are some of my current originals if you'd like to check them out

I have four songs I’ve been placed in three different independent movies including two songs in a movie that is streaming on Amazon prime.
My main focus is writing for movie placement and other artists.

I am however going to be forming a band to play some shows surrounding the release of my new album.
I want to play my new originals live as well as some select cover tunes from my main influences.

Please take a listen to some of my original new music and see if you’d like to be part of that.

I want like minded musicians. I have a long list of influences. (The Police, Sting, Billy Joel, U2, Journey, Sammy Hagar, Van Halen, John Mayer Dave Matthews, Inxs,, Genesis, Santana, etc)

My original music is more pop/rock with with different flavors or influences ranging from classical, rhythm and blues, rock and some latin jazz influence.
I have a strong tenor voice and can sing diverse styles of music.
I want like minded musicians who are fairly serious + capable but laid back.
Also no drug users please. Thanks.

So.. let's get this started shall we?
