On the Tag cd, I did all the writing, lead vox, drums, and synth programming, as well as recording and mix. The material really came to life thanks to the guest musicians: Bugzy, Alex Domschot, Andy Schlee, Patty Balbo, Mike Maiorano, Andy Lalasis, Jeff Seykot, Greg Pordon, and Danny Eyer. These guys are the shit.

I am a composer/producer/engineer/drummer/vocalist living in th South Jersey area. Tag is my original project for songs I consider personal to me. I also write for other artists like Patty Balbo, and I have written over 130 original music library peices, which can be heard on over 500 radio stations across the U.S. I play drums for a living in the Philly/AC area, and recently took the drum chair in Generation Next. I've also been traveling to Vegas and other locales to play with the great Jimmy Hopper. I own a sweet recording facility called The Cottage, where currently I've been doing internet drum tracks for clients such as the Philadelphia Eagles (check out the video page) and Verizon, as well as local recording artists. I also teach drums. Visit futilitymusic.com and check out all the stuff!
