I am an independent recording artist, I have been playing music and playing in different bands for over 30 years. I can play multiple instruments and I have learned quite a bit through my time and I still keep learning and moving forward and working with other musicians. my favorite style of music is new metal and also Prog metal. I also enjoy regular rock n roll and also alternative rock was some punk rock. I love a lot of the original hook lines and a lot of the original standard changeups that forefronted our music. I am also into experiment music and keeping up with the new styles and perceptions that we are experiencing in the music business. I have put a lot of time and effort into recording and learning myself and also helping others have a voice at the same time. I pretty much go with the flow with a lot of things and I give a lot of room to breathe and time for others to figure things out for their selves as we all do. I believe I am well seasoned as a musician in many different ways and I can work pretty much with anyone.

in the past I have learned a lot from other musicians and people that I have looked up to including Bands like, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, Iron maiden, Rush and so fourth. I have never quit a band in my life.
