Biography

Vocalist, Musician, Producer, Home Studio, Songwriter, Composer, Lyricist. I have a knack for creating an emotion that supplements what is being presented. I have a lot of empty space in music at times and it allows for development of feelings and versatility. I have been playing in bands for about 15-20 years, as a metal vocalist. I started producing my own music as a way to cope and it has been quite the pleasure. I have not been able to stop creating.

I used to have a party trick that I could take any subject material and make it sound like a legit poem. And only when you knew what the subject was you realize it can be something silly. When I write, I feel like I am autopilot. Watching myself write something. And when it is done, then you have a product.

I don’t really do metal vocals anymore, but I still can if requested. I do a lot of spoken word, and narrative type vocals. I can do many different voices as well and have been told you can feel the emotion when I express. I have also been told I have a soothing voice and I have thought about dabbling in guided meditation work.

I can play guitar and some synth. What I can offer is riffs. Or I can take an existing chord progression and make something interesting out of it. That is what I can do for session work. I can also write some melodic slower lead or atmospheric parts over something that exists. Both with synth and guitar.
I have my own home studio, and have made quite a few songs out of here. I use Logic Pro to mix, primarily.
