Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Born in Germany, but raised in Texas.
To sum it up...I'm a music junkie.
I play, write, and listen to music.
My specialty is percussion. I've been bangin' skins since I was 3 and I plan on bangin' from here to the heavens up above.
I love all types of music ( And I mean all ). Music is a universal language that all Gods children can understand. Some people don't like certain types of music. However, have you ever heard anybody say, " I don't understand music"? Some may miss the message ( if the song is meant to have a message ), but they "hear" the music.
God has granted me the ability to create and listen to the musical language.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live in my garage at the moment.

Art of noise
I could go on and on.....See, it's like this....Music is a language not just an art....Meaning? All races and religions have their own language, but their music is universal. Therefore, I get my influences from all over the world.
What equipment do you use?
Right now I'm just using my PC, controller keyboard, and drum set. Oh yeah and a butt load of high end software.
Anything else?
I just want to get heard and get some feedback. It's been a dream of mine for a long time to just create good music to listen to. Some will like it and some will not, but one thing is true........I created it from the ability that God has given me.
