Guitarist/Bassist for Progressive Rock band, "Man on Fire" who has released CD's on Prog Rock Records and 10T Records. Our recent CD, "Habitat" features Adrian Belew (Bowie, king Crimson) on guitar. I'm a split personality musician, preferring hard rock/metal when playing guitar and progressive/art rock when playing bass. I've developed a fairly unique fretless bass style which is showcased on three Man on Fire CDs.
I also play bass for cyber band Virtual Strangers. I've released a CD with my 90's FunkRock band, Truth of Fiction on LionMusic.com. I'm originally from Forest Hills, New York, now living in Atlanta, GA. I've participated in several shred style tribute CD's for Lion Music and produced the Generation Ibanez Project CD featuring fine shredders and 7 string players from all over the world.
I'm proud to officially endorse Ibanez Guitars, Kubicki Basses, Morley Pedals, Radial Engineering, Tremol-No, Scratch-Pad and Heet Sound Products Ebow. I'm always looking for exciting new projects, so drop me a line!.....
