Hello.  You might ask yourself, what am I doing here?  Yeah.  We get that a lot round here.  Pull up a chair, listen, stay a while.  Contemplate a bit.  Who knows where you will be off to next, so why hurry?  Life is short, friend.

I make music with my hands and my mouth. I attempt to create each song in a few hours, "writing," performing, and "mixing." Lots of looping, trial, error, and frustration abound. All is recorded on a macbook air in garageband (aside from a few of the earliest songs), using a USB microphone or with a little usb-guitar in dongle thingy. Nothing is pre-built. I don't have a means of doing legit drumming, so I just do the beats with my mouth.

I used an MPC 2000xl, an Electribe ESX, a Microkorg and a mixer to make these beats.
Produced with no computer or software. 

On July 24th 2011 on the way back from a show at around 3am the car I was in was hit dead-on by a drunk driver. Even though I was in the back seat behind the driver I fractured my skull, broke my neck (c4,c5 and c6), broke some ribs and fractured my hip. I spent some time on a ventilator in the ICU at Queens Medical Center then moved onto the Rehab Center of the Pacific both in Honolulu, Hawaii. I made the 10 hour non-stop flight to the east coast and spent more time at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital located in Philadelphia, PA. I am now in a powered wheelchair, paralyzed from the chest down and have no use of my hands or fingers but still manage to produce new music with an iPad using the Beatmaker 2 app and a stylus strapped to my hand. The lawyers get rich while I still haven’t gotten a penny for settlement money. Theres no one to sue because the driver who hit us did not make it thru the accident. I try to maintain a positive attitude for my path to recovery believing that everything happens for a reason no matter how shitty it is and knowing that something good will come out of this. You wouldn’t believe the crazy and strange complications that come with a spinal chord injury that I never thought about and never knew existed. Im on a mission to bring awareness to drunk driving and spinal chord inuries while tryina get myself to the to the top with my music. Please listen to my music and help my cause and think twice before drinking and driving or let someone else do it.
