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 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 P8, Acid Pro, multiple softsynths, a Cuatro, a Jackson/Charvel guitar, Ibanez Artcore, Fender 5-string bass, a Bullet 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. Still trying to collaborate, time and inspiration permitting.

This is how I try to stay sane, hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping in. Platano Music 2009
