I am a lifelong musician. Made my first pro recordings at age 17. Played around Los Angeles for about 15 years. I have many influences from many kinds of music, and I try to incorporate variables in my music and thus keeping myself creatively unlimited. In 2007 I appeared on a non-commercial privately released Jimi Hendrix tribute double-CD. I was chosen to be on the tribute among hundreds of applicants, and my cover version of "gloomy monday" was voted the best on the CD by an unsigned artist. I am self-taught, I play by ear, and I play guitar, bass, drums, keys, banjo, mandolin and I do my own vocals. The recording of "Angel Executioner" you are listening to now was recorded in my home, and it's all me on all of the vocals and instruments. I won't drop names but I will say I was among some real greats in rock n' roll who you all know very well. It was an honor to appear on the same CD as my heroes and an honor to know the Hendrix family really liked my cover version of one of Jimi's "forgotten" and obscure songs from his days with Curtis Knight.
