Thanks for dropping in. My musical journey has spanned over two decades, and it's been anything but a straight line. Many don't know that I grew up playing music with a true genius, an experience that profoundly shaped my playing and ear. That, along with a creative lineage that includes my uncle, the musician Tony Lasley, and grandfather, sketch artist Richard Lasley (Back to the Future), instilled a deep passion for the arts.

In my youth, my drive was fueled by ambition, leading me to front various musical projects and play countless shows. But eventually, the push for stardom and a demanding ego led to creative burnout. In a period of substance abuse that followed, my pursuit of music came to a halt. The dreams of fame gave way to a need for healing.

My path turned inward, and through Eastern Mysticism, I shed my former identity and learned to simply be a piece of life, a creative energy returning to the cosmos. This music, once a tool for the ego, means something different to me now. A friend told me, "a musician will always be a musician," and in my case, that seems to be true.

I am now in my 30's and feel more capable than ever before. This music is the product of that journey and a diligent effort to capture the brilliant ideas that would otherwise be lost to improvisation. I no longer have illusions of stardom, but it is my great honor and blessing to share this collection with you. This is just the beginning.

In addition to music, I find peace in exercise, healthy eating, and connecting with nature. Namaskaram.
