SEEKING

ABOUT

I started playing guitar at the age of 7 and began singing well before. Growing up, I studied music at C&D in Van Nuys, California (which is no longer there). I began writing my own material in the 1970?s and bought my first TEAC 4-Track reel to reel recorder in 1983. I have been recording ever since however, I have upgraded over the years to what is now a computerized recording studio. I attended MIT (Musicians Institute of Technology) in 1985 and continued my education with Derol Ceraco and the infamous Ted Greene.

I have performed at weddings, church events, clubs, high schools, house parties and restaurants as well as doing various studio session work. More recently, I led a Contemporary Christian Band two weeks out of every month, for over 5 years, at a church located in Winnetka, California.

In 2009, I met the very talented Yuko Tamura (Gladys Knight / Googoosh), who in turn introduced me to Trent Stroh (Eddie Money) and Danny Pacillo Jr. We played together at a Christian church on a few occasions, and since that time, we have written, produced and recorded original material together at my home studio.

I work very hard at my craft and take each and every opportunity as if it is my last, and always go above and beyond what is expected of me.
