This HoRse began toying with piano's while still an itty, bitty, kiddy in grandmother's basement. Think I thought this was somehow making up songs and writing melodies. Around seven I got really lucky and was introduced to a piano teacher who taught me about my ear (how to use & not use it) and the basics of transcribing some of my favorite songs off the radio. Later things got more serious. But I truly fell in love with the art of 'making sounds' when I got my grubby little hands on a synth at 13.
Have been a founding/contributing member of unique-underground projects like MAIMOU, COTTONMOUTH TX, BILLY GOAT, HAIRYAPES BMX and WHITEY. ** Most of that is available on iTunes ** Some of my recording/touring/performance credits include EDIE BRICKELL, STONE GOSSARD, DANIEL POWTER, EVERLAST, EVANESCENCE, COLIN HAY of MEN @ WORK, the JAY LENO SHOW, JIMMY KIMMEL & MTV UNPLUGGED with KORN & the CURE.
It happens that I acquired the nickname "HORSE" while touring around the world with KORN in 2006, as I was required to perform under the influence of a HoRse mask. Towards the end of the tour JD, MUNK, DAVID, & FIELDY invited me along to write and record songs for what would beocome the groups 8th studio album, now known as "UNTITLED". During this time I was fortunate to work with the amazing TERRY BOZZIO, BROOKS WACKERMAN, producer ATTICUS ROSS (NIN) and production team 'the MATRIX'. As you read this I'm currently back out on another world tour, with KORN, in support of that new release.
