I started rockin' around 1968, produced my first concert at 16, and have produced a few more throughout the years.
In 1990 I began producing compilations and released 10 projects, up till 2009.
In 1999 I bought some recording equipment and released my first solo EP. During the years I've picked up the guitar, bass, keys, and trying the drums, mandolin, fiddle and banjo.
In 2005 my mom bought me a computer and a year later I bought a video camera and software.
The Ambient Dvd/Cd, PUZZLED VIEW was released Feb. 21st w/videos to follow.
On May 1st, I MISS YOU (lyrics) was released and entered the charts @ #1 Pop/#1 Adult Contemporary. The last single to be released off BOOK OF LIFE.
Lord willing, the next Ambient Cd/Dvdr scheduled for July and lyrical single in May 2025.

Duet w/my mentor Jesse "B.K." Rodriguez around 1968. Two years later began PAX w/him and Darwin Shows. JENSEN w/Jesse and Darwin in 1975, along w/ an old PAX drummer, Emil Gonzales. BOIS D' ARK w/Jesse from 1979 - 1981. We released two 45's (vinyl).
I formed a new line up in 1983 for gigging and a final line up in 1985. We recorded and shot a video. In 1999 I went solo working w/brother Randy on lead guitar, as well as other, and various hired drummers for my 1st release.
In April (2020) I began to work with a master on drums as well as with mixing, mastering, and production, Juan Miguel Alcántara, of Ecuador. I praise God I am now able to work on demos I've had stashed for 20 years. Plus, I am always working on new material.
I play open mics when possible. I would consider all offers.
I have been influenced by everthing from Doo Wop, Pop of the 50's, old Blues masters, as well as the masters who reinvited it - so to speak - in the 60's and now, the new age or experimental music of the late 70's, and up to the Metal of the 90's. While I enjoy some Hardcore and Extreme Metal, I'm getting too old for the screaming vulgarities and profanities. I need positive vibes around me and for positive vibes to ooze from me.
Lately been listening to a lot of Metal featuring keys, and I'm trying to add more keys into songs, not just lead.
Basic band, audio and audio video production, and distribution tools.
I pray that the material I produce makes you think about your relationship in Christ and your position in life.
