Bio
.. The Genie is an avant-garde guitarist, performer, and musical pioneer best known to audiences for his 'scratch guitar' shows, a unique performance involving live looping, slide guitar, beatboxing, unconventional syncopation, and various original techniques which he has crafted. In 2002 he made his debut in Montreal at the DMC Championships and later at the Canadian National DMC Championships. He went on to collaborate with Canadian producer DJ Horg and recorded his debut CD, The Genie-Rebel Music in 2002. He was immediately signed to Montreal's High Life Music label (HLM), receiving Canadian distribution. In 2004 he returned to San Francisco where his performances immediately drew attention from the local media as he continued to stun audiences with his unique styles. Since that time he has recorded two follow-up CD's, The Genie-Entropic (recorded live in Hawaii) and Aquadry, a collaborative side-project. His music ranges various genres and his broad range of musical interpretation has made fans of every generation and cultural background. Honing his "scratch guitar" showcase as full-time performer for the past seven years has elevated him into an elite level of performance and today he is considered one of the best live-loopers in the world. In 2007 he was profiled in Guitar Player Magazine (June) and was featured on Current TV in a piece entitled "What is Scratch Guitar", which was voted number 1 and aired on national TV in the US and UK. In 2008 he was selected for sponsorship by the Line6 company, the producers of the DL4-delay modeler, his loop pedal of choice. For information and booking contact 415 643 4572. ..
