The furthest point away from view can be the most interesting. The distance can hold something dear to people, such as myself. I take forms and shapes and sounds and turn them into the music you hear. Music is spectral and spiritual, I try to put that into a concept people can identify, and identify with.
Why this name?
The name I was born with..
Do you play live?
Yes, constantly. All through NJ/NY/Philly, either as a solo/duo act, or with another band I'm in, Borialis. There's nothing like the experience of live performing and connecting with an audience.
I've had many special moments.

If you make it big..?
If?! You mean when...
When I do, I'll never forget where I came from, and who the REAL friends are.

Band History:
"The past is fire and burning fast." - My history has only given me the tools I need for the future.
I've played many venues, with several bands. What I have learned is to take what you see in this business, and use it to your advantage. Chances are few. Learn to take them, and to learn from them. It's the only way to survive and flourish. And, remember, always write from your heart and soul, and you'll never be wrong. Success is only how you feel.
