ABOUT

. s://./njp1185/
I am a seasoned session musician and just left a band. I'm 29 years old and have been playing for over 18 years and gigging since I was 15. I grew up in Austin TX inspired by blues texas r&b funk rock acoustic folk experimental psychodelic band of gypsys era rock. I’m always learning craftsmanship and artistry and striving to find an ever deeper, higher connection to music. That’s why I listen to a lot of classical, jazz, Arabic, Indian, Moroccan and Sufi.  Th e highest forms of pure music without any idea of a marketplace.
The sounds of the 60s and 70s really hit me as a kid and loved the lush analog tones from those times. I enjoy 80s pop rock indie.
I studied at Berklee College of Music. I write all my own music and prefer to not be held down to one genre. I am looking for open minded musicians who may or may not have the same influences but the drive to capture all our styles into one. I own all professional equipment and traveling not an issue
