About me: Hi there. My name is Jim. I'm an East Coast transplant living in Los Angeles for 13+ years now. My main love is music, both listening and playing. I have the pleasure of gigging around southern California with some of it's finest musicians. I also enjoy some tv, movies, eating out with friends, animals and a good cup of coffee. I also have a page more dedicated to my music and gigging under my full name Jim Xavier.
Who I'd like to meet: People who share a love of life and living however they describe it.

“ …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell.
