Bio:

PaZ y AMoR...This is some of my music. Music is one of my passions, along with organic food and growing, and hiking and soaking in natural hot springs all over the world. I have been on tour with multiple bands all over the northern hemisphere for years, and I have learned a great amount of knowledge about playing music ,and life on the road. I am committed to playing music the rest of my life! Music runs through my body all the time. I believe it to be one of the highest forms of expression. Inspiration is found when experimenting with music from different cultures. Beauty is beheld in people who make music by taking in the sights and sounds from nature. We are all one here on this planet, and music truly is a positive force that brings people together globally. For so many reasons I truly love the healing vibrations of music. The way I created these songs was by a process of layering. I would first record a track of me playing the drums. Then I would play a keyboard part on top of that ,and so on until the song sounded the way I wanted it to sound. It's fun, and when I get going, I can't stop...it's a flow of creativity just like a painter or a dancer. I hope you who listens to these songs enjoys them.~ These are some of the bands I have had the honor of playing drums/flute/percussion/keys with on stage and or studio over the years who have added to my knowledge of playing music.... >The Neville Brothers >The Wailers >Dirty Dozen Brass Band >Galactic >Israel Vibration >Culture >Porter,Batiste,and Stoltz >Phil DaRosa Band >The MoonCussers >Groundation >EEK A MOUSE >The Skatalites >John Brown's Body >Soldiers of Jah Army(SOJA) >The Samples >John Cruz >Pressure Cooker >The Breakfast >Sierra Leone's Refugee Allstars >Entrain >Kate Taylor >Ben Taylor >Spiritual Rez >Old Silver Band >The Grift >Various Berklee Ensembles >Lucy Vincent >Outerland Funk Tribe >Keep Thinking >Howl >The Rootsticks >Willie Colon Steel Drum Band
