Hello and welcome to my artist page. I am a beginning composer with great ambition and love for music. I have been musically inclined since I was a child and I currently play drums, keyboard, guitar and bass. My fundamental knowledge of music stems from early on as a child, I became very active in school choirs, and playing in high school concert bands. I was awarded outstanding soloist my last four years of high school for choir/vocal arrangments that were performed nationally in state compitetion. After high school, I went to college and graduated with a major in theater. During this time, I actively continued to compose various arrangments, some small, some for full orchestra. My love and passion for music has grown over the years and I find it still soothes "the savage beast" within myself.

Story behind the song
On September of 07’, I was approached by a good friend and excellent guitarist, and asked to collaborate with him on a project he had an idea for. The project itself was a major undertaking, because I had really no experience in composing any Latin/Cuban style music. We talked for a few weeks and I finally agreed to meet him in his studio in Lexington. When I arrived, I was blown away to see a huge, complete recording/mixing studio housed in a section of a warehouse that had been renovated. I was introduced to a few of his friends who he closely works with and has regular “jam” sessions. We sat and discussed ideas; style, flavor etc. and I began to come up with sparks of inspiration. Over the course of 7 months, we all worked back and forth on various ideas until we had a solid foundation. Well, after a long 7 months, I am happy to say the project is finally finished. We all agreed that Carlos Santana was the course of our inspiration so, this, the final result, is somewhat of a tribute to the man. This was recorded in Lexington with live guitar, keyboard, flute and sax. The percussion used in this recording is from various sample libraries
