Ok, I love music. Love to play, love to listen, love to move to it. I think my first attempt at music, besides singing nursery rhymes during the potty training era, was the recorder. Yes, the plastic recorder that every parent has to endure for at least a week. Well, I really took to it. Next up was the autoharp. My school had one, and every kid had a chance to try and play it. I mean, shoot, the chords are written right on the buttons - learn the progression and rock out to "This Land is Your Land", right? I seemed to be the lucky winner when it came to accompanying a rousing pre-school rendition of our patriotic favorites.
I've been lucky enough to play with some really interesting and eclectic acts. I did spend a few years toiling in the advertising world, and there was a time where you couldn't turn on your TV or Radio without hearing me, whether you knew it or not!
Playing with Beyonce's band since June of 2006. Nonstop. Lots of cool airtime can be seen on my links page. To the left, to the left.
Released "Here With Me", a flugelhorn instrumental album featuring oodles of multitracking (on the flugelhorn, muted trumpet and trombone!) and featuring amazing musicians! Yes, folks, real musicians! Available only at www.innova.mu until April 10th, where it will be available in all of those special places folks flock for music!

I think my music career began at the age of four when my aunt made me sing Three Dog Night’s One Is The Loneliest Number for a group of her friends. But my big break came 10 years later when, on my fourteenth birthday, I received an electric guitar. At that point my best friend and I formed the world’s worst KISS cover band. As I learned to actually play my instrument things improved, however.

My high school years were spent impersonating a rock star, fronting a band called Shadowfax. Graduation sent me off to Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana where I fronted The Lynx Band. A chance meeting while playing a show in Ohio brought me together with the group I would travel to New York City with at the age of 20. French Lick recorded a self produced demo tape and set off for the Big Apple where we were “discovered” by the owner of the world famous Power Station recording studios.

A four year production contract landed us a penthouse suite at the top of the studio where we ate, breathed and slept music while rubbing elbows with the biggest stars in the world. While at the Power Station we placed songs in several movies including Ron Howard’s Gung Ho and A Nightmare on Elm Street - Part IV. After a botched record contract with Atlantic’s ATCO label the group disbanded.


 In addition to great bands I am a fan of great songs of all types, from Brenda Lee to Harry Nilsson. All time favorite: AC/DC.
