Hi thanks for dropping by.

I am compiling a new instrumental album, titled Bow with approximately 7 tracks. Here on this site there are some rough pre production versions for you to hear already, just go ahead and click on the speaker icon to hear them!

Hoping to do some more shows soon with my solo project band. (Leigh Doolan drums & Yuji Otaki bass).

Starting a project based on improvisation and groove with (Patrick Morales bass & Alex Osoris drums). Hoping to start some gigs with that out fit in the near future. A small ep to come out soon.

Doing some song writing based on country rock style with singer/guitarist/songwriter Tim Florea. Hope to have some songs written soon ready for pre production.

Currently recording guitar and bass tracks for producer Dan Weekes from DW studios.
