I'm primarily a solo artist who focuses on recording and performing my own eclectic, jazz-influenced original music. I play mainly guitar, but also bass, drums, and keyboards. My three albums to date have material that ranges from instrumental jazz to fusion, ambient, progressive pop, and other unclassifiable genres.Band/artist history
I've been playing guitar since I was 9 years old, bass since 16, drums since 28! Since the mid 1980's I've been an avid composer and recording enthusiast. As of early 2006, I have released 3 independent CD's of my original music. Since then, I have been focusing mainly on writing and performing a variety of acoustic music without a recording project in mind.Have you performed in front of an audience?I do, but rarely. I have a repertoire of solo material in the jazz, Brazilian, and "eclectic acoustic" genres.
Your musical influences
Jazz - everything from the 1930s until the 1980s. Brazilian music - MPB, bossa nova, and samba. Lounge and "chill" smooth electronica as well at times.What equipment do you use?

very nice guitar work on all the songs (from a production view, i liked the distant guitar in the intro of each passing day in particular). not so sure the lyrics are as strong at times, but offer congrats for the good stuff.
