Actually After playing blues and rock' n roll most of my life. I branched out and started taking jobs on cruise ships playing deep house. After that, I became aware Of the other musical styles that fit the way I play. Trip Hop, Chill Hop, Low Fi...
after being told that I could not practice my saxophone in our apartment I began playing an electronic wind instrument. Using Logic Pro X I discovered I could play guitar sounding solos on this instrument.
My first big influence was Jimi Hendrix so for me this was somewhat of an epiphany!
I also was influenced by the movie scores In the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Now I have everything I need to create right in the comfort of my own home. I still go on tours but I have another side the bands I play with know nothing about, The Dark Walker! Oh, I'm playing almost all the sounds on the Dark Walker songs on an electronic wind instrument it's only the drums I need help with.
