I am just a music maniac with affinity toward more then one kind. My go to genre is metal. I have special love for thrash and grunge. Yeah, I was 16 in '90...

I find most things funnier than I should. I'm also notorious for over thinking things. Life isn't worth the stress you place upon yourself. Everything can be worked out. Smile, laugh more. Life's too short for anything else. 

Born in Paris, France and grew up in Los Angeles. I am a multi instrumentalist and singer who has been performing and playing in bands since the age of 13. I have performed locally and internationally in bands including Mephisto Walz, Litchbane, LyonsBlade, Moonlighter, Bloodphage and currently Cyanate.

I started playing guitar about the age of 15. My very first show was on my 21st Birthday, while playing in the band Crystal Axe (The Nevada State Fair August 15th 1987). Since that time I've had the opportunity to play with some incredibly talented musicians while in After Dark, PsychoBabble, Wrathbane, Bloodphage, Darque Carnival, and currently Cyanate. Currently endorsed/sponsored by Dirtbag Clothing, endorsed/sponsored in the past by Jagermeister, Coffin Cases, Basson Sound Engineering, Spector, etc and traveled the West while on tour extensively. 


It's all about music, betterment of that music, betterment of your chops, and the people you meet along the way !!!

(ALL of these tracks I played bass on - it doesn't mean that I wrote the songs or lyrics, simply examples of my playing)

The seeds of Xilla were first sewn at the end of the world, 2012, when brothers Greg and Rich Pullin along with Chris Flanagan and Pete Smyth first came together
with the intention of creating something distinct and utterly memorable.

Fast forward to 2018 and with the arrival of frontman Leigh Oates (Order of Voices,
Soldierfield, Rise to Addiction), the final piece of the Xilla puzzle was in place.

2018 saw the band work tirelessly perfecting and recording their debut album.
The band enlisted the help of John Mitchell (You Me at Six,
Architects, Enter Shikari) for his formidable mixing expertise on the piece.

Released worldwide on March 31st 2019, the critically acclaimed debut album ‘Distant Minds’ blew reviewers away, gaining great reviews in prestigious magazines such as 'Prog' and 'Powerplay' Magazine.

The album was followed up by 2 new singles in 2020 & 2021 releasing 'Live Again' & 'Cornerstone', before parting ways with Drummer, Pete Smyth. 

The band have now readied new music for release in 2024, first of which is 'Like Vultures' available worldwide 31st Jan 2024!
