I'm currently performing on upright bass. I've been playing and making music for 25 years, but haven't always stuck to the same aspect. I've been in bands as guitar and bass, a stagehand, engineer at festivals, outdoor stages, clubs, for weddings, in studio, and recently I've gotten back into performing... on the upright.

Influences
Everything. Literally, everything. My strengths and roots are; blues, rock, country, bluegrass... in no particular order. I also love reggae, hip-hop, many forms of EDM, and pop. I can splinter those genres down, but that's a longer discussion.

I have a PA, it ain't pretty, but it sounds good. Mics, mic stands, cables, you know, that stuff.
