About me:

I just got off a national tour with Boston based singer songwriter Jon Robert. I occasionally sit in with his band playing percussion as well as aid in the creative process when he is writing. Also, I co-produced his debut album "Meant To Be" and A&R'd the entire project. We were on tour with a great band named Making April and Universal Motown artist Jimmy Robbins.

Last summer, Jon and I opened side stage for John Mayer, Colbie Caillat, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, James Blunt, Eric Clapton, and of all bands, The Police at Jones Beach Theater in Long Island, NY.

I own and operate an independent record label/talent development agency Klub Records, as well as a design/online promotion company "That's Wild Media" where I design custom myspace music pages, album art, band merchandise, etc. and promote bands/solo artists online helping them to increase and maintain their web presence and general public image. All this and at the same time, I work as a freelance designer and occasional photo production assistant for an Orlando based web development company called "Palms Development Company". I have also worked for Universal Records, Vanity Fair (As a Photo Production Assistant), and Texas based independent record label Red Cup Records.

Also, in my free time as a hobby, and to fuel my passion for recording, I write, record, and produce my own crazy, funky, party tunes for fun... The demos can be heard on my myspace music page HERE. Feel free to download any song of your liking on iTunes. I donate 35% of all profits to cancer research, specifically LIVESTRONG The Lance Armstrong Foundation.

Who I'd like to meet:

Exceptional singer songwriters, bands, and other musicians that I can help in any way that I possibly can.

Also, Steven Tyler...
