I grew up on Long Island New York and my music journey began at the age of 8 years old. I inherited an am/fm radio from my parents and lost myself in freestyle music. It was the first style of music to really capture my imagination and make music an art form, rather than just something playing in the background of my life. By 11 years old I started to embrace everything from metal to R&B, dance music, rock, and pop. All of this great exposure to my parents music and my sister and brother introducing me to the music they listened to gave me an incredibly strong music foundation to influence my future as a musician and song writer. Before I was a drummer, before I became a song writer.....I was, and will always be a listener first. My ultimate goal is to work side by side with artists, developing new music and doing session work on the drums.
