STARTING AS A YOUNG PUNK KID IN SANTA FE, NM, I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED TO BE A MUSICIAN.

I PLAYED GUITAR STARTING AT 12, LIKE MOST OF US DID. NIRVANA AND GREEN DAY WERE HUGE, AND I WANTED TO BE THEM.

AS TIME WENT ON I FIGURED OUT THAT I PREFERRED TO BE BEHIND THE DRUMS, AND STARTED PLAYING WHEN I WAS 15. 30 YEARS LATER, I’VE BEEN ONSTAGE THOUSANDS OF TIMES AND RECORDED DRUMS FOR ARTISTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

ELECTRONIC MUSIC BECAME A PASSION OF MINE IN THE 90S, WITH THE SOUND OF UNDERWORLD, ORBITAL, LEFTFIELD, SASHA, AND OTHERS FORGING A PATH FOR MUSIC THAT WAS YET UNKNOWN.

I STARTED PROGRAMMING MUSIC IN TRACKER PROGRAMS AND ON HARDWARE. AS TIME WENT ON I STARTED TO PROGRAM MUSIC IN DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATIONS AND SOFTWARE, AND AGAIN 30 YEARS LATER, I’VE WRITTEN AND RELEASED OVER 300 SONGS AND FIVE ALBUMS.

MUSIC IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ART FORM IN THE WORLD, I FEEL. IT CAN CHANGE THE ELECTRICITY IN A ROOM. IT CAN MAKE A FILM GO FROM HUMOROUS TO FRIGHTENING WITH A KEY CHANGE.

I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO CONTINUE TO PUT MUSIC INTO THIS WORLD. IT WILL BE THE THING I WILL DO UNTIL I’M NO LONGER BREATHING.

I have written and relased over 300 songs in my lifetime. I have worked with superstars in the industry such as en esch of KMFDM, Jon Fugler of Fluke, the future sound of london, bt, and more.

as a drummer, i have logged 30+ years behind the kit, playing in vertigo venus, diverje, zram, the bloodies, and numerous other projects.

i am well-known in the audio indsutry for my work with pcaudiolabs, lending my skills as a technician to help musicians make more music with computers that are purpose-built for musicians and content creators.

i wear a lot of hats, but music is always the most important one.
