Do you play live?

Haven't in a long time, maybe at some point...

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

There's a lot of great music out there, and the industry will have to keep up. This may mean the balance will swing more favorably for the artist than in the traditional industry-based model. This is good..

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Depends on what "signing" will do for me.

Your influences?

OK, here's a short list --> McLaughlin, Metheny, Franco Mussida, Jeff Beck, Carlton, Holdsworth, Yes, PFM, ELP, Cactus, Gentle Giant, Bruford, Bloomfield, King Crimson, Carlos, Kazumi Watanabe, Scott Henderson, Hendrix, Stern, Danny Gatton. Have always been a fan of "well crafted pop tunes"..

Favorite spot?

Wherever my Muse can dance and talk to me.

Equipment used:

Sonar X1, multiple softsynths, a Cuatro, a Jackson/Charvel guitar, Ibanez Artcore, Fender 5-string bass, a Bullet Strat, RI Maple Neck Strat, an Ibanez acoustic/electric and the Roland GR-20 guitar synth.

Anything else...?

First appeared on MP3.Com and was actually the first global collaborator with renowned German musician Mathias Claus, and later with another amazing musician/composer from the Ukraine, Sergio Walking.

This is how I try to stay sane, hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping in. Platano Music
