I am a musician and composer with electronic, jazz, and pop influences and am originally a trumpet player. I have been composing electronic music since I became interested in computer programming. My music is composed on computer and uses sound modules and sound samples but sounds like instrumental pop. The songs are based on the traditional pop song format. Listen to a few songs before you go.
My first CD, Can't Stay Still, includes all of these songs and was available at MP3.com. I am currently working on setting up a new CD distribution provider.

Thanks and enjoy the music.

Do you play live?
I am only planning to produce recordings and not have any live shows. I prefer to create a polished song with subtle touches than a live show. I often create multiple versions of songs that may appear on this website.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has helped level the playing field for musicians. It provides cheap distribution and provides a musician with access to a worldwide audience. Music fans are exposed to a larger selection of music and have greater choice.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Possibly. I enjoy creating music and would love to be paid to do it. However, I also like having control over my music and my life. A standard record contract would probably not make me happy.
Band History:
have played trumpet for 18 years and composed electronic music for 15 years. I have written and recorded five albums, but this is my first Public Release.
Your influences?
For my current style of music (melodic electronic) the Crystal Hammer theme, by Karsten Obarski (on the old Amiga 500 computer) was the most influential piece of music. I always try to write a melody that I like and have multiple layers of sound and melody.
Favorite spot?
Anywhere warm and preferably near the ocean.
Equipment used:
Roland D-10, Yamaha TG-500, Korg X5DR, SB Live!, Amiga 500, Mackie 1202 mixer, and MED SoundStudio
