Here you will find songs I have written and recorded over the years. My major musical influences are unquestionably British Rock groups from the 60's, especially the Beatles.

I am also deeply influenced by the new wave and punk era of the late 70's. Artists such as the Jam, Clash , Buzzcocks, Blondie, Elvis Costello, the Police, Gang of Four and many more.

I cant tell you all of the awesome things I saw and heard at the clubs in New York City during this period. Hanging out with Paul Weller and the Jam after a show, drinking beers with Ric Ocasek of the Cars and seeing Johnny Thunders on stage with his guitar unplugged because he was on a Heroin trip... What a blast it was..

Right now I am listening to the Shins, Anti Flag and the Chile Peppers to name a few. But music just isn't what it was. Hopefully down the road guitar bands will come back in strength and replace all this abysmal electronic crap..



All songs written and performed by yours truly. If any artist is interested in covering any of my material please feel free to contact me. =)
Why this name?
Just a web handle Ive used for many years.
Do you play live?
Not now..
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Maybe as a writer. Could also lay down a few cool bass lines if needed.
Your influences?
The Beatles are my musical inspiration without question.. But there is so much more. Especially the British sound of the 60's and the new wave and punk sounds from the late 70's.

IMO music quality has faded dramatically since then. Mediocrity is accepted in great doses now.
Favorite spot?
Tokyo without question although I live in NYC.
Equipment used:
All Fender gear.
