About Me

My talents include:

• Bass, Electric
• Guitar, Lead
• Guitar, Rhythm

Music has always been a love of mine and when I was younger I had ambitions of becoming a professional musician. Now, I'm just happy when I find some time to jam, collaborate, and work on some projects of my own.

I play both bass and guitar. The bass you hear on my projects is a Fender Jazz Deluxe (Mexican made). My guitar is a 7 string Squire Strat and I tend to use my Vox Wah pedal a lot.

I'm particularly fond of funk, jazz funk, or acid jazz. My influences come from James Brown, The JBs, P-Funk, Defunkt, Deee Lite, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and most recently Jamiroquai.

While I can't play much of it myself, I'm also fond of Jazz giants such as John Coltrane and Miles Davis. When it comes to fusion, I'm a fan of John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Al DiMeola, and Brand X (especially Percy Jones' bass work).

I welcome any invitations to collaborate.
