ABOUT

I’m a top notch singer, (a lot of people claim that - I’ve been doing it professionally for 15 years.) A drummer. (Like a Travis Barker drummer - I’m no Carmine Appice) And an acoustic guitarist primarily. And I can make it work on a lot of other instruments. I have a home studio (for ideas/tracking) and access beyond for mixes and masters; production expertise in Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic etc.; and I’ve played gigs for weddings, rooftop parties at Bridgewater (Hedge fund in Stamford), and many more. I’m looking for gigs or studio work/production work that needs inspiration and expertise but am 39 with kids so I’m looking to make some money helping a serious band/bands “make it” (while obviously also having fun). I also know that marketing is more than half the battle and have a masters degree from Columbia where I learned about it. Lyrics and melodies are second nature to me. Finally, I see that the button below says over 100 gigs. I’ve played over 1500 and am still learning!

Influences

I enjoy singing and playing most genres but gravitate towards alt rock/hiphop/reggae creative hybrids. Like some 311, some Ed Sheeran, Coldplay (old and new). I know 80% of the musical Hamilton so if anyone is looking to make that a show ???? I also like new stuff (cause modern production is so simple) but with clever lyrics. (Like AJR) I would play “bro country” too if we could sell out quickly. (No joke. I have some material already.)
