As simple as my parents giving it to me.

I've played many venues as a solo act in pizza shops, but also have performed in various locations with an accompaning band and trio.
Currently, I perform anywhere from Saratoga to the greater Adirondack region. Live events are what keep me on my toes [and fingers].

Granted whether it's legal or not, the internet has helped the music industry flourish.

Considering the fact that I'm not signed yet, I would indulge on a record deal, if and only I felt comfortable with the label's terms and agreements.

I've played with 'Gregory James & the New York Flames' as lead guitarist/backup vocals.
'The Trio' was an experiment Greg Marek, Pat Gavin-Brynes and I collaborated for during a few school events and the kickass hippie-festival named MAGUA two years in a row. [music still envelopes many carpet samples in 'The Studio']
I've also played in both the Plattsburgh State Guitar Ensemble with Michael Fratino and students/PSU Jazz Combo[aka SUNY Shiites] with Rick Davies and band.

I grew up listening to Pop, but that soon left me empty..Rock seemed to satiate my desire for something more, but I found myself reborn through Jazz and especially the Blues.

I have a big influence through Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, Al Green, Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, John Mayer, D'Angelo, Guster, Sam Cooke and other various artists.

My philosophy has always been that you can get something out of any piece of music, no matter what genre or demographic that it pertains to.

This sounds cheezy.. but I Love NY, It's so lively and professional. It's a place where people become something and things get done.

Atlanta is one of my dream spots to set up a musical social network.
