There are some hungers that food can't feed.
At 12, I began feeding my hunger for music by learning drums in my middle school. At 14 I played my first real show with my punk band, The Silent Screams. Never content with sticking to a linear format for rhythm, I pushed the influences of the band from Crass and Doom to The Blood Brothers and Refused.
Playing throughtout high school in drum line while playing shows anywhere I could with my bands had me turning heads and peaking interest.
At some point, the hunger was getting harder to feed. So I picked up guitar at 17 and started singing on my own.
Interest in writing, led me to an interest in recording.
I am a graduate of the Los Angeles Recording School and I learned the intricacies of the studio while I was an intern for Ryan Baker (RX Bandits, The Sound of Animals Fighting, Love You Moon)
I am credited as the Pro Tools Engineer and Editor on Sugarcult's Live in Japan DVD, which I worked on in November of 2008.
I have hit the stage or studio as a vocalist or drummer with artists like:Adoration, The Taliesin, July's Afterglow, Jason Castillo, In For the Chase, Falco Does It Dirty, Hideo, The Silent Screams, and more.
Most recently, my band, Twin Suns, released a 4 song EP engineered, mixed, and produced by me.
