This accomplishment goes out to all my musician friends working hard ,making great music, and most importantly, pursuing their dreams!

I remember getting the call in 2000 like it was yesterday..

Hey, do you want to play some metal riffs on a cartoon soundtrack called Dragonball Z? Oh..you mean the cartoon my son and I watch in spanish in the mornings before school, and he's totally in love with the show?

I'm totally in!! That was my break into making soundtrack music :)

Really gets real when you're shopping with your kid for a Wii game , and the Dvd is for sale down the aisle.

And, I'm still getting royalties God Bless!

The March 15th 2008 re-release charted in the Top 10 in 2 categories on..
