About me:
I am of Iranian and Armenian extraction, was born in Canada and grew up between Geneva, Switzerland and Brooklyn, New York. I am currently studying at the University of Edinburgh.
I am a player of music and a great music enthusiast and am now using this myspace page mainly to network with other musicians. I am experienced in the recording studio and am generally available to lay down keyboard or guitar tracks for your recording needs. Some projects I've been involved in recently:
keyboards on upcoming releases by
Crazy Baldhead (Agent Jay of the Slackers),
King Django's
Version City label, and Geneva-based
Kinyama Sounds (keyboards on tunes by Chezidek, Rod Taylor, various riddims).. When I'm in New York I play organ for
The Forthrights (Brooklyn-based rocksteady and early reggae music). I also briefly fronted a noisy organ-led group called
Cou D'État (Now Defunct)
I run a small music blog,
Straight Strychnine, updated whenever I please, where you can hear some of the rarer side of the tunes filling my ears any hour of the day.
Who I'd like to meet:
People with good ideas, like-minded music-heads, friends I haven't seen in a long time, good interesting souls in general.

For those who haven't heard, we'll be in the studio these next few months to record a new album with the renowned reggae singer, Eyon Irie. After that it's summer shows and writing songs for the next Orbits album!
In the meantime, if you don't have our self-titled cd yet, you can still pick it up on CD Baby and Itunes.
And swing by our myspace site to check out our new videos!
