Franchise Music

Artistically, I am primarily a guitarist and songwriter. I have written about 16 original songs having recorded 12 of them. One of the songs I have in my repertoire was cowritten with a songwriter based in Delaware, Brian Bunnel. We collaborated through a site called Quarterlife.com. He provided the lyrics while I supplied the music. I believe that the more exposure I get the more chances I have for my music to make it. And in the off chance it doesn't happen, I can always fall back on songwriting and be a ghostwriter for other musicians who have the power to break through in the music industry. However, since I believe that my mind is a powerfully positive tool I believe in myself as others do believe in me that I can make it.

Franchi$e Music, entertaining you since 2002. My first song was written in San Diego. Although I had forgotten the melody and chord progression I found the lyrics scrawled on a notebook when I moved back to Los Angeles. I wrote new chords and a different melody and it sounds even better than it would have been. Since then I have been writing off and on or whenever inspiration hits.

Yes. All my shows I have done so far have been acoustic sets. My first show was in Hollywood at a little spot called The Pig N Whistle. I have also played a few times at the Friar Tucks Bar in Pomona, a sushi/sportsbar restaurant in City of Industry, and Iguana's Bar and Grill in Pico Rivera. My first show at that iconic restaurant was a pretty memorable moment. My true friends showed up and supported and I felt a bit special being in a room that entertained many high profile actors/actresses and musicians in its heyday.

Classic rock, powerpop, alternative, grunge, melodic punk, acoustic folk, some hip hop/rap for dancing :)

Pink Floyd,Led Zeppelin,the Beatles,Jack Johnson,Crosby Stills and Nash,Elliot Smith,Jim Croce and The Doors are just a few influences and musical favorites that rattle my brain and summon serenity.

I'm my biggest fan and harshest critic.

"I consider myself to be a sensitive, intelligent human being, but with the soul of a clown that forces me to blow it at the most crucial moments." - Jim Morrison

A hopeless romantic patiently awaiting my soul's counterpart who shares in my passion for music and art.

I'm a musician with the heart of a business champion. Gonna make my mark in the world no matter what it takes. "Determination, Ambition, Tenacity, and Effort are my only options. Failure never made the list" - Franchi$e
