I am a committed, lifelong musician with a driving passion for music and making it. I come from a musical family and background, as my grandfather, Bert Berns, is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for songwriting. He wrote Twist and Shout (Isley Brothers, Beatles), Brown Eyed Girl (Van Morrison), Piece of My Heart, Hang on Sloopy, I Want Candy, and others.
This has had huge influence on me, as coming from a musical family where everybody plays an instrument, I have grown up on jamming and learning my favorite songs on guitar and bass. I play everyday, and take it very seriously.
Sum:
I am a bass player, acoustic and electric guitar player, and singer
