“The title of my first album is where I got the idea for my stage name/alter ego.”

NOTE: In 2005, Ditch recorded and released his first full-length album entitled, "Drunken Intoxicated Thug Catchin Ho's” aka: D.I.T.C.H.

D - DRUNKEN
I - INTOXICATED
T - THUG
C - CATCHIN
H –HOES

To this day, his stage name continues to work as an excellent marketing tool. The meaning behind it allegedly represented his alter ego back in 2005 and does not necessarily represent who he is as a person today. Or does it? Ditch and his band choose to remain a mystery to a certain degree. After all, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, or political and religious controversy sells. Got it?

“Yes. We play live all over the U.S.A. If you want to book a show, hit us up and we’ll bring a party with us."

NOTE: Read under, 'Band History,' mentioned herein for more details about live performances, etc.

“Yes. I think that artists are able to get faster exposure in the music industry if they have Websites where their music can be promoted or purchased online and where other promotional products can be sold. However, I still strongly support large stores and the smaller, ‘mom, and pop’ stores that sell the actual hard copies because I want to keep the life and fun of buying CD’s alive.

I have recorded and released various music videos, a series of commercials, albums, teasers and samplers, which can all be viewed online at: www.youtube.com/ditch420, www.sounclick.com/ditch420, or www.myspace.com/ditch420. Music can be purchased at: www.myspace.com/ditch420, www.lethaltendermusic.com and on www.soundclick,com/ditch420. My new album, Public Intoxication, will be available at: www.lethaltendermusic.com, soundclick, myspace and is coming to iTunes on 02/24/09. Additionally, my new FREE mix tape, Never Gonna Stop, will be released on 01/20/09 at: www.lethaltendermusic.com/mixtape.htm and other sites as well, so check us out!

Once again, yes, the Internet (or mp3) has not only changed the music industry, it has changed my life. Peace."

NOTE: For more details about what Ditch has recorded or released (as mentioned above), read under, Band History, mentioned herein.

“Probably not, that’s why I started my own recording/holding company called, Lethal Tender, LLC, as mentioned herein. If an offer were submitted that I couldn’t refuse, then negotiations would take place to ensure that I keep my freedom regarding my image and music. Unfortunately, many crooked people are out there that give the music industry a bad name; just like the underworlds of crime. Those companies judge artists, our actions, the audience responses and label artists unfairly. If they’re not 100% behind you, then they won’t promote you properly (Too many rules and restrictions). I like to break the rules and am not afraid to speak my mind; therefore, I like the underground. The underground has been great to me. I value my loyal and faithful fans and I’m grateful for all their love and support. I feel blessed.”

“For details about my history in the music industry, go to www.myspace.com/ditch420 and read my PRESS KIT (under construction), which contains my resume and Show List. My home page on Myspace is where I do most of my networking, so fans can contact me there because I don't really monitor or network on other sites much. Thanks, again, to all my fans for waiting so patiently for the album to be released. I really appreciate all your love and support! Church."

“All types of music influences me, such as: rap, comedy rap, jazz, reggae, heavy metal, progressive, alternate, pop, punk, classic rock 'n' roll, modern rock, rockabilly, funk, disco, house, techno, roxy music, hardcore hip-hop, blues (R&B), country, you name it. It depends on my Italian mood, so I don’t target any specific category. However, I do enjoy artists from Suburban Noize Records because they provide an alternative to all the crap being recycled on our airwaves today.

I like artists such as: Kid Rock, Kottonmouth Kings, OPM, Kriminal, Korn, B.D.P., U.D.D., Anthrax, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Danzig, Pennywise, 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Bad Religion, Jimmy Buffett, Van Morrison, Bob Marley, Chucky Chuck, Big B, Haystack, Six Sicklife, Bone Pulse, the old Steel Pulse, Ice T, Body Count, Too Short, Cypress Hill, Garth Brooks, Social D, T.I., Dirtball, Kingspade, Saint Dog, Big Hoss, Megadeth, Motley Crue, Tommy Lee, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Van Halen, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, Andre Legacey, Dirt Nasty (aka: Simon Rex), Shwaze, Beardo, Fishbone, Pepper, Ice Cube, Nelly, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Eminem, The Pricks, and the list goes on. They were all a major influence on me.”

“I love Southern California. Specifically: Newport Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Rat Beach, Orange County, L.A. County (Hollywood and Beverly Hills), San Diego area or anywhere in So. Cal. However, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas baby! CHA-CHING! Nevertheless, these are my favorite hangouts. To that end, I must say that I live and die in California; this is home forever. We love this state; it’s the best in the West.”

"9 INCHER! Come on, ya gotta have a sense of humor, so give me a break. I'm not afraid to say what you think. Just admit it, anyone who has had sex has a mischievous side to them, so get over yourself, or get therapy."

“Everything else! I enjoy giving back to the community and would like to do more shows to promote charity or other worthy causes. Although my lyrics may sound controversial or offensive, they can be cleaned up for charity events and parties, unless it’s for the military. Our men and women in uniform need to stay pumped up, so they don’t mind my bad boy image. I’d rather have the guys on the front lines or our wingmen listening to my music than to Barry Manilow, ya’ know what I mean? Fighting a war and listening to Barry would be considered somewhat of an oxymoron don’t ya’ think? I say this with all due respect for Barry, because there’s a time, a place, and a nitch for everything. Sometimes war is necessary, and so is my genre of music. Nonetheless, I’m currently working with contacts at Camp Pendleton to book a concert on base and am contemplating going on tour overseas. I strongly supports our United States troops, have performed concerts for wounded marines, and have had off duty soldiers onstage during various performances. I’m a rebel who supports a worthy cause and so do they. As a result, I’ll do whatever it takes for them because they have our backs. I'm a man on a mission and they’re my peeps, ya dig?

If haters don't like my music or image, then they can pound sand. They can’t dictate my path because they don’t know me personally and have no concept of what I’m like behind the scenes. I’ll never measure up to their exhaustive expectations and circular talk because I'll be the first to admit that I will never be perfect. So to all the haters out there, just remember: ‘He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.’ (John 8:7). Regardless of all my flaws, I matter to the big ‘eye in the sky,’ and there’s a reason for everything. Much love, respect, and special thanks goes out to God, to my family, all my friends, co-artists, fans, and sponsors. Now let's get this party started! Church, and peace out to all of you.”
