[Nov 2024]. Publishing new tracks "Injection 25" about the importance of medical freedoms and also "Slow Drag" about the tragic death of Kurt Cobain, who was one of my musical heroes when I was in high school.


[Oct 2024]  Writing new content with a little help from my Roland vocal transformer.  Contracting with Kung-Fu world champion Andrew Wilson to write a new song "Message from Above" to be used in his upcoming documentary film.  

[Sept 2024]  New track "Fight the Power" is out with the Headless ønes ... you're going to love it.  Instant hit.

[Aug 2024]  Released a piano instrumental version of "In Love Again" 

[July 2024]  I revisited "Truth Teller" to make some changes and additions. I have an updated version printed now.

[June 2024]  I'm recalling a chord progression I developed in my teen years and I'm putting together a new track called "Soul Sister".  Not done yet.

[May 2024]  "Truth Teller" got some major edits and a new version is now bumping across social media from my fans sharing it out.  You know who you are... thnx!  Also, former Kung-Fu World Champion (my friend Andrew Wilson) hit me up to compose another song, for his next documentary film.

[April 2024] Learning how to master my songs.  I'm going to revisit many of them, and I will be re-releasing some tracks after juicing them up.

[March 2024] - released "Truth Teller" and an instrumental version.  Made a few additions to "In Love Again".

[Feb 2024] So the inner conscience is a very weird thing.  I recorded a track titled "the Face of Darkness" exactly 2 years ago, forgot about it, and then last night, my brain reminds me to put it out, and won't let me sleep.  It needed some work, so I spent another day on it. Check it out, in all its shadowy uniqueness.

[Jan 2024] Just got a call from ASCAP, and found out that my music has been used internationally on radio and television shows.  They were trying to deposit money into my bank account, but I needed to update it.  No longer a hobby; officially a paid/professional musician.

Cleaning up my music files, I came across a two-years old demo of "My City Is The Desert" and it's time to do it justice.  Might add bass+drums.

[End of 2023] Whipped out "In Love Again" in under one day.  Sudden moments of inspiration.  Let's rebound.

[2023 - Dec]  Thanks to my "X Fam" and Lucius Knight for the advice, as I finished "A Hero Returns".  This features frequencies from the 11th harmonic, which are now proven to heal the body.  I'm not kidding.

[2023 - Nov]  published "Injection 24" in hopes of waking up a few people, going into next year.  I kept the original lyrics, but added real guitar and checked EQ and instrument blends, to master the final product.  Possible alt lyric version coming.

[2023 - Oct] Reworking "Injection" and adding real guitar to sweeten the opening and various parts, other ingredients going in are confidential and you'll need to sign a waiver to find out what they are.  ;)

[2023 - Sept]  "Murder by injection" got a new formula, and published, now with only the warning label of "Injection" to simplify the title.
[2023 - May]   Some ideas still brewing... probably something to celebrate my mother

[2023 - April]   Developing a new piano comp "A Hero Returns"

[2020]  Too much work, setting up a new business... thoughts of suicide... definitely time to get back into music!

[2019]  Mostly work and no play.  Not good.

[2018]  Left my hometown of Los Angeles for a new life in the mid-west, got a pet lizard named "Baby Dragon" and she's amazing.
