  I'm just a guy trying to make good music and hopefully one day I will be able to provide for my family and friends doing so!  I grew up heavily influenced (like most of us) by my parents musical tastes; mostly the rock of the 60's and 70's.  As a very small child, I remember being turned on by new wave and electro pop and synth pop in the 80"s. I started playing guitar at age 12 and my musical taste turned towards the grunge genre of the early and mid nineties.  I went to my first rave in 1995 and was forever changed.  The music heavily influenced my life in a way nothing ever had....

  I started programming electronic music using Re-birth 1.0 and shortly after on Roland hardware like the MC-303 etc...  I started collecting records and mixing them in my mid to late teens all the while teaching myself to program during the same time and attending every party I possibly could all the way through 2000.  Thats when, in my opinion the scene where I'm from took a major dive and I lost interest in going to the parties. I did not however lose interest in listening, collecting, and making music.  Due to never having a set of turntables of my own I focused heavily on writing and programming electronic music, and continued to play guitar and learned to play a few other instruments as well. I fell in love with Propellarheads Reason and still use it heavily, and as the center of my productions to this day. I've owned two different home studios, awesome projects that expanded my knowledge and experience by leaps and bounds. Teaching myself over the course of those times, recording techniques, (mic'ing tricks etc..) and DAW software like Pro-tools and Logic which I am fluent with to this day, also different vst's like the NI catalogue of plug-ins and stand alones, and other companies like Planet Waves software like their renouned Mastering packages like Mercury and the Chris Lord-Alge and Tony Maserati bundles etc...I love these programs and bundles!!  This is also the time when I fell in love with Apple and the ever so lovely and crucial Macs!!  Due to unfortunate circumstances both self inflicted and not, I have none of this equipment today, other than my new MacBook Pro, Reason, and Balance as well as my trigger finger which I used to love and now hate hahaha! Oh well, it works for now.. I also sing and write music with my guitar and occasionally incorporate all of my talents and experiences together to make my own blend of music that for lack of a better term "I would like to hear"....

  I've ran into several ups and downs over the course of my life, some of which have really hindered my ability to put out the amount and quality of music I've created in my life... Needless to say I love music and it has and will always be a huge part of my life.  So if anything I have uploaded onto this site, or will upload in the future, appeals to you or anyone you know then awesome and I must be doing something right. I look forward to creating and listening to as much music as possible!
