Band Bio: I started playing drums on the back my sisters classical guitar - got a drum set - then I taught myself stairway to heaven by ear in trying to learn it before my sister and realized I dug playing guitar -continue to learn by ear. piano lessons never interested me, dug playing trumpet in 6th grade - self taught on classical guitar, got addicted to it. Began classical guitar performance training under (LA Valley College under Robert Mayer). Got 2nd chair in guitar ensemble at LAVC - later studied under Mary Clair Ingalls (Aaron Shearer prodigy/Peabody Conservatory) @ Towson University (she never complimented my playing but gave me gigs she didn't want) started getting wedding gigs, various private party's, special events, concerts - Signed my first contract as session guitarist for Maryland Public Television to do all guitars and be Music Video Advisor to teach on-camera talent how to appear convincing on drums, keyboards, guitars and bass. Started to license my music to Motor Week and compose for other shows there. Got lead guitar spot for local/national touring band "Archer" and started becoming a big fish in a small pond kinda think in Baltimore but always wanted to come back to LA. After the Blizzard of 97' - I did. check out (John Waters "Divine Trash"), web http://unitedartscene.com/la/) Currently teaching guitar, play classical gigs, started the first ever "Classical Guitar Cruise" (need to renew the site but havn't had a chance www.classicalguitarcruise.com) I want to do another guitar festival on a ship again - it was unbelievably cool) produce music, voice over and soundtracks for The VertiGirls pole dancing troupe, teaching guitar and hope to collab with rockers to tour again.
